C Parker Brailsford (4.25.26)
Hey, Parker, just wanted to ask you. You go from Washington to Alabama. What did you learn in that jump going from one to the other and then the competition you played at each? How did that that kind of help your development?
“Honestly, just being able to recognize change and being able to deal with change in a healthy way, that was a big thing for me, going from one place to another. Those two places are pretty different so, yeah, I’m definitely happy I got to go through that experience.”
Hey, Parker, obviously people talk about your size. How have you been able to overcome maybe not being prototypical from a weight perspective?
“Yeah, man, just using my leverage, honestly. Size doesn’t really matter if you don’t have the leverage behind it, that’s a big piece and also, I mean, I am smaller, but I don’t think I’m weak by any means, so definitely that’s something that also helps me a lot.”
Hey, Parker, do you know much about the Browns offensive line situation? And secondly, what were your meetings like with the Browns people, if you had any?
“Oh, yeah, I did. I mean, the meetings were great. You know, usually when you come in and meet with teams, you go in and you’re not really sure what to expect. But, I mean, with them, everything just clicked. I felt really comfortable going in there being myself, which is a big thing.”
Hey, Parker, obviously you spent a lot of time at center, but versatility has been kind of the name of the game here for the Browns in this draft? How do you think that your history of versatility can impact your fit and what you’re able to do here now with the Cleveland Browns?
“Yeah, I mean, I definitely think I could play any of the interior positions. I actually started at right guard my redshirt freshman year, so I’m pretty comfortable playing all three if need be. I think I would have the most impact at center just because I’m able to direct things and I have a little bit more on my plate, but I definitely do believe that I could play all three.”
Hey, Parker, the Browns took one of your teammates, Justin Jefferson, a few picks after you. How excited are you to kind of get to join him here in Cleveland?
“Oh, I’m really excited. I didn’t see, but I watched it when they picked Denzel Boston, too. I mean, that was one of my teammates at Washington, so I’m really excited to get to work with those guys.”
Parker, what do you know about (OT) Spencer Fano? And do you know anything about (OT) Austin Barber. What do you know about those guys and have you met them and how excited are you to kind of all come in together as rookies and help get this thing turned around?
“Yeah. So I met Spencer, he seems like a real good guy. You know, he’s like really himself. He’s very genuine. So I appreciate it about him. But, yeah, I’m definitely very excited to get to know those guys and work with them.”
