LSU cornerback Greedy Williams, whom the team took with the No. 46 overall pick after a trade with the Indianapolis Colts, made a splash with his first comments as a member of the Browns during an introductory conference call with reporters.
Williams was asked about what he knew about the Browns.
“I know one thing,” Williams said, “the Browns are going to the Super Bowl this year. That’s a fact.”
Williams had a chance to walk it back, but instead doubled down when speaking about the rebuilding job that general manager John Dorsey has done in Cleveland.

“John Dorsey did a great job just getting the right guys in the right positions,” Williams said. “I feel like this team will be the Super Bowl champs this year. Add me to the piece, you have a great corner that can play man-to-man and even turn the ball back over and let (quarterback) Baker Mayfield capitalize.
“With them picking me, I thanked them a lot. This is something that I could never forget. There are a lot of memories. I am feeling a lot of emotions. John Dorsey did a great job. I think once the team gets together, it is going to be a dominant team, we are going through the whole league and we are definitely making that Super Bowl.”
Williams joins a team that’s loaded on defense with players like defensive end Myles Garrett, linebacker Olivier Vernon and corner Denzel Ward.
Williams finished his career at LSU with 71 tackles, 19 passes defended and eight interceptions in two seasons after he took a redshirt year in 2016.
