The Cleveland Browns could be taking an interest in a kicker when the draft rolls around: Kevin Harper. According to a tweet by Harper, the Browns will be conducting a private workout with him on April 12th:

Harper has ties to Cleveland. He graduated from Mentor High School and was considered was of the country's top 5 kicking prospects by Scout.com. He then went on to play for Pittsburgh in college. He did not attempt a field goal during his first two seasons, but he was the team's starting kicker over the past two years. In 2011, he connected on 21 of 31 kicks. In 2012, he connected on 20 of 27 kicks.

Harper attended the NFL Regional Combine in New York and made an impression by connecting on five straight field goals from 35, 40, 45, 50, and 55 yards, according to Sam Werner of the Post-Gazette. He also worked on kickoffs and was sending them out of the end zone, according to Werner. His performance was enough to earn him a spot at the Super Regional Combine, which took place on April 6th. Last year, the Rams' Greg Zeurlein made an impression at that event and ended up being drafted in the sixth round. The News-Herald posted a story about Harper's path to the NFL earlier today.

All I have to say is the Browns better make the Playoffs next season, anything else is an absolute joke. I quit posting here years ago because there was no use to keep beating a dead horse. Got tired of having smoke blown up my ass ... It's Win or shut-up.

This Forum still has the highest Search Engine Rankings over all others, and still dominates after years and years of others vying for it. When we start winning, this place will be Golden .... Thanks for keeping it up over the years!
