Fannin, the Canton McKinley High School and Bowling Green State University product, was taken with the No. 67 pick in April’s draft. He becomes the third draft pick to have agreed to terms with the Browns, joining second-round pick (No. 33 overall) Carson Schwesinger and fourth-round pick (No. 126 overall) Dylan Sampson.
The Browns still have four draft picks still unsigned: first-round pick Mason Graham, second-round pick Quinshon Judkins, third-round pick Dillon Gabriel and fifth-round pick Shedeur Sanders. They can participate in the offseason program without a contract, but must be signed by the start of training camp in July.
Fannin comes into the league off one of the most impressive individual college seasons by a tight end in history. He led FBS Division I college football in receptions (117) and receiving yards (1,555), with 10 touchdowns.
A 2022 graduate of McKinley High School, Fannin was an All-Ohio safety for the Bulldogs as a senior. He converted to tight end at Bowling Green, where he had 80 career catches for 2,396 yards and 17 touchdowns.
