Here's video of Colin Kaepernick arriving in Los Angeles while the rest of the non-nfl football world shows out for jobs by playing in the Aaf ... something Kap clearly has no plans of doing. Kap wasn't saying much when we got him at Lax ... dodging questions about politics, the Super Bowl, and even what he was listening to on his AirPods.

And with the first overall pick of the 2018 NFL Draft, the Cleveland Browns picked …
… Baker Mayfield, quarterback for the University of Oklahoma.
The 23-year-old — originally from Austin, Texas — had risen to the top of many NFL experts’ mock drafts as Draft Day approached, despite a number of controversies marking his college career.

In February 2017, Mayfield was arrested in Arkansas for public intoxication, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and fleeing. He went on to post a lengthy apology letter on Twitter.
His antics on the field did not always go down well either, especially when Mayfield planted an Oklahoma Sooners flag on the Ohio State crest at midfield. Later in the 2017 season, he made a lewd gesture toward the Kansas bench, which resulted in a benching to start the following game.
Mayfield ended his college career on a high note, however, having completed 70.5 percent of his passes for 4,627 yards last season, with 43 touchdowns and six interceptions.
Originally a walk-on player for the Texas Tech Red Raiders, Mayfield transferred to Oklahoma after alleged scholarship issues and a lack of communication with coaches. He went on to win the 2017 Heisman Trophy.

Despite also having the number one pick in last year’s draft, when they took Texas A&M defensive end Myles Garrett, the Browns ended the 2017 season 0-16.
The “Bad Luck” Browns have taken 28 quarterbacks in the Draft since 1999. Past picks include Johnny Manziel (also picked from Texas A&M in 2015, who is already out of the league following his high profile partying and poor performance); Tim Couch (1999, but he got lumbered trying to lead an expansion team); Courtney Brown (2000, and injury-prone); William Green (domestic violence and substance abuse issues); Trent Richardson (2012, and subsequently one of the worst running backs in NFL history to get a significant number of carries); and Brady Quinn (2007, nice guy but terrible NFL career).

With the second overall pick, the New York Giants chose Saquon Barkley, running back from Penn State.
Next on the clock are were the New York Jets, who took Sam Darnold from USC, and then the Browns, again, when they picked Ohio State cornerback Denzel Ward.
Each pick is read out by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.

Just when you think the Cleveland Browns had turned a corner, and things were looking up in that part of Ohio, a cruel blow could derail their season.
Brian Hoyer was the long-time back-up quarterback to Tom Brady in New England, before he finally made his first NFL start last season for a beleaguered Arizona Cardinals side.
Now with the Browns having replaced 2012 first rounder Brandon Weeden as the starter, he had them winning, and playing well.
Two consecutive wins over the Vikings and Bengals had seen Rob Chudzinski’s side climb from basement dwellers who had seemingly given up on the season already following the Trent Richardson trade, to a team who could threaten in the Afc North at 2-2.
However on Thursday Night Football against the Buffalo Bills, Hoyer took off on a innocuous quarterback scramble but his leg buckled underneath him and he left the game and did not return.
