Cleveland played about as perfect as they could have in the first half.

The role of Donovan Peoples-Jones in Cleveland

What is the role that former University of Michigan wide receiver and sixth-round draft pick Donovan Peoples-Jones will play in Cleveland? The Cleveland Browns decided to make Michigan receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones the 187th overall pick in the NFL Draft Saturday.
