Cleveland Browns vice president of player personnel Alonzo Highsmith has shed some light on why the team passed on Josh Rosen in favor of Baker Mayfield last week.

"I was at an airport," Highsmith told the Canton Repository. "UCLA's volleyball team was in front of me. You heard so much about Rosen. He's this or that. We all know how people talk.

"So I asked one of the volleyball coaches, 'What's Rosen like?' He said, 'Aaaa, you should probably ask his girlfriend. She's one of the players. She's over there.'

"I'm like, 'All right coach. That's good enough.' ... I don't know what all this means, but there was something about him that bothered me."

Rosen was eventually the 10th pick of the Arizona Cardinals.
