"I am very excited. Football is full of challenges. Whenever I can get to it, I am ready."
On if Thomas contacted him before or after the draft:
"Before and after. He had just hit me up on Twitter DM and just told me that he had a talk with (Executive Vice President of Football Operations and General Manager) Andrew Berry. He told me that he really likes my game. Just now, he gave his number and was like, 'Call me sometime if you every need any pointers.' He knew I was going to be playing left tackle and if I need any pointers on tips and videos or things like that, he will just be there to help me out."
On if he will take advantage of Thomas' assistance:
"Most definitely. He is a Hall of Fame player."
On what it means to know he was the Browns' top choice:
"It means a lot. That was something that I preached on because I firmly that I was. With them believing in me and kind of expressing their feelings about that, it makes me feel good and it makes me feel welcomed. I am going to prove them right."
On what he learned most from Alabama Head Coach Nick Saban:
"He really just taught me how to be a professional. Came day in and day out to work. I knew if I was not going to do that then I was not going to play. I knew I had to carry myself in a different manner."
On if he has been in touch with Mayfield and if he knew Mayfield before tonight;
"Before [tonight], no. I never really talked to him. He hit me up as soon as I got drafted. He shot me a text and just gave me his info. Same thing, he let him know that I was going to be there and he was going to be there for me and if I need anything just to reach out."
On his celebration with family tonight:
"Just a pre-celebration get together – eat and what not. Of course, you get drafted and celebrate. Now, just kind of enjoy the moment."
On how many people were with him:
"The CDC guidelines were 10."
On if he is in Lexington:
"Correct."
On how influential his parents and family have been:
"Very influential. Brought me up my whole entire life and been there for me through whatever and whatever I needed. They just kind of created me, taught me right from wrong and so on and so forth."
On his parents being former college athletes and that being an influence on him:
"Yeah, I have been around sports my whole entire life. I started at a young age."
On if his dad took him to games when he was young:
"That and he also used to coach me for a couple of years. When I got little older, he moved onto middle school and high school ball."
On what he remembers from meeting the Browns and offensive line Coach Bill Callahan at the combine:
"At the combine, it was more of them just getting to know me for a couple of minutes and then straight into film and playbook work just trying to see how my mind processes and what I know. That type of stuff. The Zoom interview meeting was just me and Andrew Berry. He just kind of connected with me and getting to know me. Very little talk about position and playing actual football but more on the other side."
On Callahan's involvement in Cowboys T Tyron Smith's transition to LT after playing RT in college and if Smith provides a model for the switch:
"Most definitely. I know it is going to be a tough transition, but I have full faith in him getting me to that point."
On what he knows about Cleveland and what he wants the city and fans to know about him:
"It is close to home. I think I have only been there a couple of times when I was younger for tournaments and what not. I'm not too familiar with the culture, but I just want them to know that they picked somebody that was going to work with what they can do to be a leader in the community and I need them to teach me the culture there in Cleveland."
