sportsApr 23, 202623331

The Cleveland Browns selected Utah offensive tackle Spencer Fano with the ninth overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Fano started at both left and right tackle for Utah, won the Outland Trophy, and logged 210 true pass-protection reps in 2025 without a single quarterback knockdown. The Browns acquired the No. 9 pick after trading down with the Chiefs and added a versatile, plug-and-play lineman who should step in immediately to improve Cleveland's pass protection and run blocking.
