Simon Fraser


Simon Fraser signed a contract with the Atlanta Falcons a couple weeks ago and it looks like the Cleveland Browns are not going to match the offer. It will be hard to watch our Upper Arlington and Ohio State University graduate playing on another roster. I watched Simon at a practice in training camp and there was no one more enthusiastic about being on the field than number 75. He was the first one in line on station changes, he ran from station to station and even ran to the sidelines to sign autographs after practice. He showed the same hustle for the Browns that he showed in college. Fraser was a three-time OSU Scholar-Athlete selection and a two-time Academic All-Big Ten Conference honoree, as well as a co-captain as a senior. As a Brown, Simon had 54 tackles (28 solo), 4.5 sacks, four passes defensed, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery in 48 games. This three time Ohio native will be missed by the Browns and all his fans. Good luck Simon.
