Now with the Browns, he joins a re-vamped offensive line that saw numerous changes during free agency and has a new position coach in George Warhop. While at the combine and on his visit to the Browns, Fano had the chance to meet Warhop and learn about his “old-school” coaching style.<\/p>\n
Fano also will step into the role at left tackle, as head coach Todd Monken said following the pick selection they will have Fano play at left tackle. To Monken, Fano’s character, athleticism and toughness were the three traits that stood out and played a large factor in their pursuit of him early in the draft.<\/p>\n
“His character was first, I mean, the way he’s wired,” Monken said. “I think the expectations that we will have for him won’t even match that he has for himself. His athleticism, his toughness, I mean, when you want to start off the first year of your regime, you talk about what you want: character, toughness, athleticism, he has it all.”<\/p>\n
Fano said he feels prepared to step into that position on the offensive line. Not only did Fano start 11 games at left tackle during his collegiate career at Utah, but he also continued to take practice reps at all positions on the offensive line throughout the pre-draft process in order to be prepared for the needs of the team that drafted him. And he believes that wherever he lines up to take reps, he will be prepared to take the field at that position.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Now with the Browns, he joins a re-vamped offensive line that saw numerous changes during free agency and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":873870,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2054],"tags":[118400,197,86,85,54,2337,114995,196,508,198,7,6],"class_list":{"0":"post-873869","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cleveland-browns","8":"tag-2026pick9","9":"tag-adpartnerdraft_coverage_article","10":"tag-browns","11":"tag-cleveland","12":"tag-cleveland-browns","13":"tag-clevelandbrowns","14":"tag-draft-2026","15":"tag-draft-coverage-article","16":"tag-draft-tracker-card","17":"tag-featured","18":"tag-football","19":"tag-nfl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116462054541159474","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/873869","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=873869"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/873869\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/873870"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=873869"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=873869"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=873869"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
