Damon Sheehy-Guiseppi may have bluffed his way

into a tryout with the Browns.But once he was there https://www.brownsfanshop.com/Austin-Corbett-Jersey , he eventually had to show some cards.The rookie wide receiver did just that, with an 86-yard punt return for a touchdown Thursday night. It was an amazing first chapter in his football story that all his teammates wanted to join by piling on him in the end zone.“I felt all the love,” he said, via Scott Patsko of the . “I couldn’t breathe under the pile. I was over there gasping for air, but I felt all the love. I saw all of them come running down there (to the end zone) and it was just a blessing.”<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Damon Sheehy-Guiseppi takes it to the house!#WASvsCLE pic.twitter.com/iEbWQk0fHR— Cleveland Browns (@Browns) August 9, 2019</blockquote>Sheehy-Guiseppi played junior college football, and shopped his tape to every SEC and Big 12 school looking for an offer. None came. So he went the indoor and Canadian football route, and eventually conned his way into a Browns tryout.“It is good to see good people, hard-working good people succeed,” Browns coach Freddie Kitchens said. “He definitely fits the bill with being that. If you stick around after any practice, you will see him on the practice field getting extra running in and before practice getting extra work in. He is always at the office. He is a good kid.”And based on the reactions of his teammates Nick Chubb Jersey , it’s a story that’s easy to fall into, and hope for a happy ending. Josh Gordon‘s strange, stuttering career will start anew in New England.Bill Belichick and Tom Brady have a new offensive toy.The Browns severed ties for good with the problematic wide receiver by trading him to the Patriots for a fifth-round draft pick on Monday, ending a relationship the team did all it could to save.The deal came together two days after the Browns reached a breaking point with Gordon, who has been suspended numerous times by the NFL for drug violations since Cleveland drafted him in 2012.“He is gone now,” coach Hue Jackson said.Gordon played in the Browns’ season opener against Pittsburgh, but he reported to the team on Saturday with an unexplained hamstring injury after practicing all week. The Browns decided to leave him behind when they traveled to New Orleans, and later said they intended to release him.However, Cleveland general manager John Dorsey found there was a crowded market for him and worked out the swap with New England, which will also get a seventh-round pick.The Browns have been supportive of Gordon, but the team felt betrayed and decided it was time to move on.“We’ve done all we can do for Josh Chad Thomas Color Rush Jersey ,” said Jackson, who didn’t provide any specifics about Gordon’s issues over the weekend. “We tried to provide the right environment. It just didn’t work out. Sometimes you just need a change of scenery and hopefully things work out for Josh.”Gordon’s tantalizing talent had caused the Browns to hang onto him while he dealt with drug and alcohol dependence going back to his teens. He missed training camp to receive treatment and the Browns were cautiously optimistic he would help them this season.But he again let them down, and Jackson acknowledged the separation was necessary.“I hate to determine it a relief,” Jackson said. “I’m glad there is closure. I’m glad that we’re not in a space where we’re thinking about those things: What could be, what could not be, and that we’re coaching the guys that are here.”Gordon’s departure will expand rookie Antonio Callaway‘s role. Callaway caught a 47-yard touchdown pass in the final two minutes Sunday, but the Browns were beaten 21-18.Also, the Browns added some depth Monday by signing free agent Rod Streater, a sixth-year veteran who has played with Oakland and San Francisco.Gordon’s former Cleveland teammate Corey Coleman — who had his own issues with the Browns before being traded last month to Buffalo, cut and then signing with the Patriots — was released by New England.Belichick has a long history of reclamation projects with castoffs, including Randy Moss https://www.brownsfanshop.com/Antonio-Callaway-Jersey , Chad Johnson and Aqib Talib. The Patriots coach will try to work the same magic with Gordon, a 6-foot-3, 225-pounder with a dazzling blend of size and speed.In his second season, Gordon led the league with 1,646 yards receiving and scored nine touchdowns. He had a memorable 80-yard TD catch against the Patriots, turning a short catch into an electrifying run on which he made New England’s defenders appear to be standing still.But that was in 2013, and Gordon has played in just 11 games since because of his off-field issues.Still, he’s regarded among his peers as one of the game’s most talented players.“I think it’s obviously known that he’s a freakish athlete,” Patriots receiver Phillip Dorsett said moments after the trade became official. “We see what he does when he’s on the field.”He’s joining one of the most stable and successful organizations in pro sports, and Gordon has financial motivations to produce. He’s making $790,000 this season — a relatively low figure among star receivers — and if he stays clean and catches the ball Britton Colquitt Jersey , he could cash in as a restricted free agent after the season.“We can’t worry about that,” Jackson said when asked about Gordon flourishing in New England. “We have to do what we think is best for our organization.”Gordon can potentially help a New England receiving group that has undergone numerous changes since the offseason departure of Danny Amendola as a free agent and trade of Brandin Cooks to the Los Angeles Rams.The Patriots took another hit when Julian Edelman was suspended for the first four games for violating the NFL policy on performance enhancers.The upheaval left Chris Hogan, in his third season in New England, as the Patriots’ most-tenured receiver and there has been a constant shuffling of receivers on the depth chart.Brady did his best during their season-opening win over Houston to spread the ball around, completing passes to eight different players. Seven different players caught at least one pass in Sunday’s loss to Jacksonville, but the Jaguars’ defense was able to key on tight end Rob Gronkowski, holding him to just two catches for 15 yards.___
