The Los Angeles Chargers’ social media team has found a new way of engaging with their audience on YouTube. General manager Tom Telesco breaks down the scenes from the 2014 movie ‘Draft Day’ in a newly released video. Telesco uses his years-long expertise in football to break down scenes and analyze them based on the real NFL drafts he has been part of. WHAT IS DRAFT DAY ABOUT? It is a 2014 film about a team (Cleveland Browns) in the period of the Draft Day. The team gains the number one draft pick in the upcoming National Football League draft via trade and what to do after it. The Draft Day cast [https://www.republicworld.com/entertainment-news/hollywood-news/draft-day-cast-chadwick-boseman-kevin-costner-and-other-cast-members.html] included Sam Elliot, Jennifer Garner, and Chadwick Boseman, among others.

Ray Lewis played for 17 years in the NFL player.

Mandatory Credit: Gary A. Vasquez-USA TODAY Sports/ REUTERS Tom analyzed the film based on real-life drafts and found quite a few gaps in the film’s portrayal of the draft. He mentioned the technicalities involved in actual drafts and called some aspects of the film “bizarre”. A NEW WAY TO ENGAGE FANS BY THE LOS ANGELES CHARGERS? A movie analysis provides new fans with the information needed to understand the sport better. This is true, as the NFL has large teams dedicated to analyzing large and complex data. The GM doing such an analysis instead of a player, allows for more interaction between the management and fans, building a stronger bond with the team rather than just the players. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200909165416/1-264.jpg] The impact of the initiative showed in the comments of the video, where Telesco genuinely impressed the viewers. Comments were mostly positive. The Movie has given fans an insight on how players are scouted and how teams negotiate trades. That’s the type of stuff that makes fans more involved in the sport. Fans need more behind-the-scenes action movies of the beautiful game. Watch This Story: Who is Slava Medvedenko, the Lakers legend fighting Russian troops in Ukraine?

Prithwiraj Gupta is an NFL author at EssentiallySports. He has completed his
Master's in History from Pune University. The contact aspect of the NFL made him
interested in the sport. Having played Rugby before, he discovered the thrill of
contact sports and has enthusiastically followed many similar sports from
different countries. He likes how a focus on power and speed affects the contact
zone in the NFL, leading to bigger hits than seen in other sports of its kind.
This interest is amplified by certain Rugby players trying their luck in the
NFL. He likes to look at the NFL from a rugby player's point of view, trying to
analyze the glaring and subtle similarities and differences between the two
sports. Apart from contact sports, he enjoys working out and reading books and
is a Hallyu fan.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Cleveland Browns 2022: News, Schedule, Roster, Score, Injury Report</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">The Cleveland Browns were founded by Paul Brown and businessman Arthur B. McBride as a charter member of the All-American Football Conference in 1945. The early days of the AAFC were dominated by the Browns as they racked up an impressive 47-4-3 record through the league’s four seasons.  The Browns continued their dominance through the dissolution of the AAFC and joined up the NFL alongside the San Francisco 49’ers and the Baltimore Colts.</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-497445 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201230182931/take.jpg" alt="" width="747" height="560" />
<p style="text-align: center">The club won their inaugural NFL season as well as the 1954, 1955, 1964 seasons. What’s more, they managed to pull off an unmatched feat by playing in their league championship game in each of the Browns’ first ten years of existence. However, the Browns weren’t able to maintain their upward trajectory much longer as they didn’t win another championship from 1965 to 1995 despite making the NFL playoffs 14 times.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Since 1999, the Browns have continually struggled to find success. They have had only one playoff appearance in 2002 and only three winning seasons in 2002, 2007, and 2020. Additionally, there have been no playoff wins and winning less than one-third of their games in totality.  What’s more, the front office hasn’t seen much stability either with multiple Head Coaching changes since 1999 (10 full time and two interim).</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-497448 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201230183202/baker.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="600" />

The Cleveland Browns have improved on their 6-10 season from 2019 going 11-5 in 2020 and placed third in the AFC North. The franchise went on to win the Wild  Card round by upsetting the Pittsburgh Steelers winning out 48-37.

However, they went on to lose the divisional playoffs to the defending champions Kansas City Chiefs 17-22.

[caption id="attachment_518808" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-518808 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210118045045/2021-01-17T225028Z_1512019207_MT1USATODAY15448660_RTRMADP_3_NFL-AFC-DIVISIONAL-ROUND-CLEVELAND-BROWNS-AT-KANSAS-CITY-CHIEFS.jpg" alt="Patrick Mahomes suffered a concussion" width="1920" height="1287" /> Jan 17, 2021; Kansas City, Missouri, USA; Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (15) is brought down by Cleveland Browns outside linebacker Mack Wilson (51) during the second half in the AFC Divisional Round playoff game at Arrowhead Stadium. Mahomes would suffer an injury on the play. Mandatory Credit: Jay Biggerstaff-USA TODAY Sports[/caption]
<h2 style="text-align: center">Logo</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">The 1970s saw the Browns use their orange helmet as the logo with a facemask. In 1986, the franchise went for a dramatic overhaul that saw a more 3-D helmet model and an updated facemask. Some of the shadows were removed from the logo and the angle was altered in 1993.</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-497446 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201230183007/sharp.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="1151" />
<p style="text-align: center">Since 1999, the Browns have made quite a few changes to their logos. After the 2005 season, the team made a slight adjustment to the orange color of the helmet and to the grey facemask. A more recent iteration of the Cleveland Browns identity came in the form of a ‘safety’ orange-colored helmet.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Cleveland Browns Owner Achievements</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">Jimmy Arthur Haslam III is a sports executive who is the co-owner of the Cleveland Browns alongside his wife Dee Haslam. Additionally, he’s the CEO of the Pilot Flying J truck stop chain. His father, Jim Haslam founded the Pilot Corporation in 1958 as the Pilot Oli Corporation.</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-497450 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201230183320/haslam.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1238" />
<p style="text-align: center">Furthermore, Haslam bought a minority interest in the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2008, and in 2012 he went on to purchase the Cleveland Browns for $1 billion. Forbes magazine valued the Browns at $977 million in 2011. The NFL rules prohibit ownership of multiple teams so Haslam sold his interest in the Steelers.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Cleveland Browns 2022 Sponsors</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">FirstEnergy Corp comes out as the naming rights sponsor of the Cleveland Browns. Arby’s Foundation had a tie-up with the Browns foundation wherein 520 students in need received free WiFi for one year to help a student who is engaged in their education and remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">The Browns also have a deal with Splash Financial with a goal to help fans save money on their student loans. Moreover, Electronic Merchant Systems (EMS), a leading Cleveland based provider of merchant services and payment processing solutions. Through the partnership, EMS and the Browns have hosted the annual toy drive to benefit thousands of local kids during the holiday season.</p>

Russell Wilsonâ€™s career timeline Russell Wilson was drafted in 2012 by the Seattle Seahawks. Since then, he played for the squad until the 2021- 2022 season. He was the 75th overall pick and was selected in the third round. Initially, Wilson was considered short for a QB, but he eventually proved his prowess on the field. In the very first season, he became the starting QB after competing with Matt Flynn and Tarvaris Jackson. Eventually, he won the Rookie of the Year Award for his five-game winning streak and a total of 26 touchdowns that season.

Mandatory Credit: Joe Nicholson-USA TODAY Sports | Courtesy: Reuters In his second season, Russell Wilson helped the Seahawks reach the Super Bowl as they clinched the title SB XLVIII. He made two touchdowns and allowed his team to conquer the Denver Broncos with a 43-8 score. Astonishingly, under his leadership, the Seahawks also reached another Super Bowl in 2014. Sadly, this time, they lost to the New England Patriots. Ultimately, he was traded to the Denver Broncos, where he signed a four-year deal in 2022. Surprisingly, Wilson&#8217;s first season with the Broncos was the complete opposite of the success he was used to with the Seahawks. Arguably, harboring, one of the worst offenses of the season, Wilson couldn&#8217;t turn the tide for the Broncos. His team did not make it to the playoffs this season. He had 26 TDs to his name with 45 sacks and covered 3070 yards. In fact, the Denver Broncos benched their starting QB just as the playoffs were approaching. These steps and the change in the contract have made the clouds of uncertainty loom over the football player. Russell Wilson&#8217;s career stats and records Russell Wilson had an extremely promising college career to show on his resume. The QB played for 4 years with the NC State Wolfpack and for 1 year with the Wisconsin Badgers. In his overall college career, he played 51 games, starting 50 of them, hosting a record of 31-19. In 1,489 attempts, he had 907 completions to his name, making up a 60.9% rate. His passing yards were about 11,720 while rushing yards were around 1,427. The QB had 109 passing TDs and 23 rushing TDs under his belt. Russell Wilson has had a rather exceptional journey in the NFL, with his stats a sure proof of the same. With 5,665 passing attempts to his name, his completions stand at 3,668 leading to his percentage to be at a considerably good number of 64.7%. He had 334 passing TDs and 29 rushing TDs to show in his record, along with having covered 43,653 passing yards and 5,307 rushing yards. His passer rating currently is at 100.0. Wilson has played 188 regular season games and has made 16 playoff appearances. He hosts the NFL records for most passing yards in a playoff game by a rookie (385) and the most fourth-quarter touchdown passes in a season (16 in 2017). For the Seahawks, the player bears multiple massive records to his name. He has the most games with a passing TD under his belt (137) along with the highest passer rating in his whole career (101.8) and the highest passer rating in a season (110.9 in 2018). Russell Wilson contracts Wilson signed a four-year deal with the Seahawks for $ 2.99 million. At the end of his first season, he also won a bonus of $222,000 through the NFL Performance-based pay program. In 2015, Russell Wilson signed a contract with the Seahawks for four years for $87.6 million. This contract was ultimately extended in 2019 by the Seattle Seahawks for another four years. This time, the worth of the contract was around $140 million. Following this, when he was traded to the Denver Broncos, he signed a 5-year $245 million contract on September 1, 2022. However, the two seasons at Broncos witnessed only a subpar performance from Russell Wilson. He was eventually benched for the last two games of the season. It was notified that the reason behind the action was to &#8220;preserve financial flexibility.&#8221; His contract with the Broncos includes a $37 million payment for 2025. This would become guaranteed if he is unable to pass the physical test. While the squad has reportedly asked him to revisit this clause in the contract and change it, sources have revealed that Wilson has declined the same. To further add pressure, it was reported that they allegedly threatened the QB to bench him for the same. Now, as the team prepares to make a decision, two scenarios might play out. One, if Broncos and coach Payton decide to trade Wilson, it will result in a $85 million cap charge. Additionally, the $39 million in guaranteed money in 2024. Two, if they decide to keep him, the cap number is $90 million over two seasons, and an additional $37 million due in 2025.
