WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. — Greg Newsome II is zeroed in this summer — literally.

The Browns’ third-year cornerback has switched jersey numbers, shedding No. 20 for No. 0, which is how many interceptions the former first-round pick has recorded in two seasons for Cleveland.

“I kind of wanted a fresh start,” he said July 25.

While a solid and productive player, Newsome hasn’t matched the expectations placed on him since the Browns drafted the former Northwestern standout with the 26th overall pick in 2021. Newsome is determined to change that.

First step: the jersey swap.
