After being selected in the sixth round of the 2012 National Football League Draft, Billy Winn played in each of Cleveland's 16 games last season as a rookie - including 10 starts. He racked up 26 tackles (19 solo), one sack, an interception and two fumble recoveries.
Winn, who wears No. 90 with the Browns - the same number he wore at Boise State, started at defensive end in the team's preseason opener against St. Louis last week.
Winn was named second-team all-league in each of his sophomore, junior and senior seasons, and was named second-team Phil Steele All-Freshman in 2008.
He completed his Bronco career with 132 tackles (63 solo), including 36.5 for-loss and 15.5 sacks.

After 12 practices in 10 days, Boise State will take its first day off since starting fall Camp, Aug. 5.
The Broncos will return to the field tomorrow and Saturday for a pair of morning practices - and Coach Pete's Camper of the Day will return as well - and then will hold an open scrimmage Sunday at Bronco Stadium beginning at 7 p.m.
With 16 days remaining until kickoff, here are some facts and figures relating to the No. 16:
...Over the last 16 years, Boise State is the winningest football program in the country with an overall record of 168-35 (.828).
...Tyler Shoemaker, currently with the Kansas City Chiefs, caught a school-record 16 touchdowns in 2011.
...Since Pete Kwiatkowski took over as defensive coordinator in 2010, Boise State is one of only three teams in the country to average fewer than 16 points allowed to opponents. The Broncos' average of 15.74 points allowed trails only Alabama (10.87) and LSU (15.69) during that timeframe.
