Cleveland Browns Sign Former Ohio State Star Braxton Miller

CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Browns have signed former The Ohio State University product Braxton Miller, the team announced on Wednesday. Miller will join the team's wide receiving corps.

Miller is in his third NFL season. He was originally a third-round pick by the Houston Texans. He has appeared in 21 games in his career and made nine starts. He has 34 receptions for 261 yards and two touchdowns in his career.

Buckeye fans will remember Miller as the team's starting quarterback from 2011 to 2013. He finished fifth in Heisman voting in 2012. He was injured in 2014 and his absence allowed Cardale Jones and J.T. Barrett to lead the Buckeyes to a National Championship victory.

After leaving college, Miller transitioned to wide receiver. He's originally from Springfield, Ohio.

To open a roster spot for Miller, the Browns cut tight end Mik'Quan Deane, who has been battling a non-football related illness.
