Fannin played three seasons at Bowling Green
Staff Writer The Browns selected TE Harold Fannin Jr. with the 67th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. “He’s really kind of the queen on the chessboard,” Executive Vice President of Football Operations and General Manager Andrew Berry said. “He’s a really good ball-in-hand player, can separate as a pass catcher despite being a little bit undersized. He’s really a good movement style blocker and he fits perfectly in terms of what (head coach) Kevin (Stefanski) and (offensive coordinator) Tommy (Rees) want to do philosophically on the offense.” Fannin, who is from Canton, Ohio, and went to McKinley Senior High School, brings that local connection to the Browns. He played three seasons at Bowling Green and appeared in 36 career games. He totaled 180 receptions for 2,396 receiving yards and 17 touchdowns. He also added 33 carries for 159 rushing yards and five touchdowns. He also led the FBS in total receptions with 117 and total receiving yards with 1,555 receiving yards for the 2024 season. “I feel like the way my play style is, I’m able to move around a lot,” Fannin said. “I can do a lot of different things, kind of just really open the playbook up a little bit just because obviously I can play out of position a little bit.” Fannin joins a tight end room that features David Njoku, Blake Whiteheart, Tre’ McKitty and Brenden Bates.
