Cleveland Browns

Former Cleveland Browns tight end Benjamin Watson detailed an awkward interview the Browns once gave him. Watson shared that the team asked him if he smoked marijuana, then they essentially did not believe him and attempted to feel his pulse while repeating the question.

This happened before the New England Patriots drafted Watson in 2004. Watson eventually went on to sign with the Browns as a free agent in 2010, where he said he loved his time in Cleveland.

Watson had his second-best season out of his 15 years as a pro with Cleveland in 2010 when he caught 68 passes for 763 yards.

This certainly isn't a good look on the Browns team that was led by Butch Davis in 2004, nearly 20 years ago. The league was much tougher on the use of marijuana during that time, perhaps that is part of the issue.
