The Cleveland Browns have selected wide receiver Antonio Callaway out of Florida in the fourth round with the 105th overall pick of the 2018 NFL Draft after trading up with New England Patriots.

Callaway is considered first-round talent, but his value's been diminished by marijuana arrests, involvement in a fraud investigation, and a Title IX hearing after a woman said he sexually assaulted her. The Florida product also tested positive for marijuana at the combine.

He is the sixth player selected by the Browns this draft and third to fill an offensive skill position.

What the analysts are saying
  • "Torments man coverage if he's allowed to operate in space. Has easy speed to fly past tardy-opening cornerbacks and run wide open." - Lance Zierlein, NFL.com
  • "Generally a reliable hands-catcher, extending his mitts far from his frame to keep the ball away from long-armed defenders in close proximity." - Rob Rang, NFLDraftScout.com
