Tennessee offensive lineman Eric Young, who was not drafted over the weekend, signed a free-agent contract with the Cleveland Browns on Monday, his agent Sean Kiernan said.
Young will attend a rookie mini-camp this weekend, however he will not be able to participate because of continuing rehab on his knee.
Injury likely played a factor for Young, who started UT's first eight games in 2007 at left tackle before suffering a season-ending knee injury against South Carolina.

Good luck to Mr. Young, he was on the way to pretty good draft status last year when he busted his knee up. Thanks for giving your all for Tennessee, Eric.

Very good. May you be healthy and driven to succeed, Mr. Young.

The Vols must have struck a deal with the Browns, like 4 or 5 ex-Vols as free agents for the price of one or something.
