BEREA, Ohio (AP) — The Cleveland Browns selected two players in the NFL draft forever connected by a horrific injury.
In Friday’s third round, the team picked Michigan guard Zak Zinter, who broke his left leg against Ohio State on Nov. 25 when Buckeyes defensive tackle Michael Hall Jr., taken by the Browns in the second round, was accidentally thrown into him.
Zinter, an AP first-team All-American, fractured his tibia and fibula on a play that hushed a crowd of more than 100,000 fans inside Michigan Stadium.
Former rivals, Zinter and Hall are now teammates — already linked by a fateful play.
“Kind of a full-circle moment,” Zinter said on a conference call.
The 6-foot-6, 309-pound Zinter was blocking another Ohio State lineman when Hall was pushed down onto the back of Zinter’s leg. As he lay on the field in pain, Michigan’s team left its sideline to support him and the crowd broke into chants of “Let’s Go Zak!” before Zinter was carted off.
