Browns sign top pick, C Alex Mack


Associated Press

CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Browns have signed center Alex Mack, the first-round draft pick from California.

The All-American was awarded the Draddy Trophy in 2008, given to college football's top scholar-athlete and was a two-time Rimington Trophy finalist, given to the nation's top center.

He did not allow any sacks or quarterback pressures on 397 pass plays as a senior in 2008.

Mack was the Pac-10's Scholar-Athlete of the Year in 2008 and was a four-time league academic honor roll honoree.

Yesterday, the Browns signed fourth-round pick, USC linebacker and former Baldwin athlete, Kaluka Maiava.
Another Hawaii athlete, David Veikune, a former University of Hawaii defensive end who was drafted in the second round and who will be moved to outside linebacker, remains unsigned.
