Another undrafted rookie free agent from the 2022 NFL Draft has found a new home. According to On3’s Matt Zenitz, former Miami Hurricanes wide receiver Mike Harley is expected to sign with the Cleveland Browns.

Harley, a five-foot-11 senior from Fort Lauderdale, FL, played a sizable role in the Hurricanes’ pass offense, primarily from the slot position. The five-year senior wide receiver spent his entire finished collegiate career in Miami and ended it with 182 catches or 2158 yards and 15 touchdowns.

Harley is the second slot size receiver that the Browns have picked up during this draft process. In the third round, they spent the No.99 overall pick on wide receiver David Bell out of Purdue.
