Rookie minicamp kicks off this week for the Browns
The Cleveland Browns rookie draft class and undrafted free agents will get their first taste of the Kevin Stefanski coaching experience next weekend. The team’s rookie minicamp kicks off on Friday, May 14 and runs through Sunday the 16th.
It’s the first stage of the offseason workout program for the newcomers, which includes first-round cornerback Greg Newsome.
The NFL also set the dates for the other portions of the Browns offseason program through training camp, which will begin in late July.
OTA Offseason Workouts: May 25-27, June 1-3, June 7-10
Mandatory Minicamp: June 15-17
Rookie Minicamp: May 14-16
However, the NFLPA is pushing for players to not report for OTAs. The Browns were one of several NFL teams whose players did not participate in the voluntary workouts in April at the behest of the NFLPA, which is led by Brown center JC Tretter.
