Melila Purcell Drafted!

Mel Purcell got drafted by the Cleveland Browns in the 6th round! Right on. More news to come.

UPDATE 1: Here's an excerpt of an article from the Orange and Brown Report.

The Browns used the pick to take Melila Purcell, a defensive end from Hawaii. Purcell (6-5, 280 pounds) was a three year starter and had 60 tackles his senior season. His best season was as a sophomore when he had 74 tackles.

TFY’s report on him describes Purcell as ‘an up and down player through most of his college career. Purcell is a prospect with good upside. He offers possibilities as a left defensive end if he elevates his game.’

No worries about that!
