BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Before Spencer Fano gets to go against Myles Garrett and Mason Graham during the Cleveland Browns' offseason workouts, the offensive tackle is lining up against a familiar opponent this weekend during rookie minicamp. His older brother, Logan. While Spencer's draft suspense ended pretty quickly, when he was selected by the Browns as the ninth overall pick, Logan was undrafted.

The defensive end received a couple of offers before deciding that the Browns were the best fit. “I feel like it feels a lot like it was at Utah, but then I look and see we have Browns jerseys on. So I don’t know.

It’s so cool,” Spencer Fano said. “Obviously I’m freaking ecstatic. You hear all these stories of how dudes will start to struggle because they feel like they’re alone.

It’s hard to feel alone with the dude that I’ve lived with my entire life. Now he’s just a few doors down in the hotel. " Even though the Fano brothers have taken lots of snaps against each other over the years, getting to do it on an NFL practice field on Friday and Saturday was certainly a milestone.

“I mean this is an NFL team. There’s just another level to it that makes you feel like, man, we’re doing it,” said Logan Fano, who is two years older. Logan began his career at BYU but transferred to Utah in 2023 to join his younger brother.
