WATCH: Minkah Fitzpatrick discusses possibility of playing for the Cleveland Browns

Former Alabama DB Minkah Fitzpatrick is almost certainly going to be a first-round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, and will likely be a top-five pick.
That means the Cleveland Browns, who hold the No. 1 and No. 4 picks, will likely have two chances to select the former Crimson Tide standout.
So, what does Fitzpatrick think of going to a team that finished 0-16 last year? He tried to be diplomatic about it, as you can see in the video below, shared by @TheNickShook on Twitter:

“They’re an NFL team. They have great talent — offense, defense, special teams,” he said. “They have great coaches. I think it’s just an issue of the culture down there. If I go down there, I’ll use what I learned at Alabama and apply it to the Browns.”
The Browns will certainly take a long look at Fitzpatrick, but based on the way that organization has been run for the past couple of decades, it wouldn’t be a surprise if they passed on the star defender.
