GOOD NEWS: Guess who the Browns brought into the team

Michael Hall Jr. found a perfect start to his NFL career with Cleveland Browns: ‘It’s just a dream come true’

There wouldn’t have been a better destination for the defensive tackle.

It was a strange site for college football fans, specifically those who watch the Big Ten, to see Michael Hall Jr. and Zak Zinter sitting side by side at their Cleveland Browns introductory press conference last weekend. The former Ohio State defensive tackle and Michigan offensive lineman Zak Zinter were part of college football’s greatest rivalries over the last few years, with Zinter’s team getting the upper hand.

As college athletes often do when they reach the professional level, Hall will put aside the rivalry and three straight losses to Zinter’s Wolverines after he was selected No. 54 overall in the 2024 NFL Draft by the Browns.

“I would just say, first off, The Game in itself, Up North and Ohio State rivalry is insane from Day 1,” Hall said when speaking to the Cleveland media for the first time. “Whenever you attend these prestigious colleges, that’s the main goal. But being my rival my three years throughout my career and finally being teammates here, it’s crazy to see him in the building. I’m gonna be seeing him day in and day out. But we’re brothers now, and it’s all about that.”

Hall and Zinter can worry about the Ohio State-Michigan rivalry next November when the two teams meet again. For now, Hall’s focus is on settling in with the Browns.

Aside from adjusting to the NFL, this should not be too difficult for the defensive tackle. Hall only has to move two hours north from Columbus to Cleveland. He is also returning home.
