When undrafted linebacker Mohamoud Diabate put together a quality preseason, he knew there was a chance he could make the Cleveland Browns' 53-man roster.
And since surviving the team's flurry of cuts and waivers, Diabate is making a promise to the Browns that, if he lives up to it, will put the team's defense in a pretty good position in 2023.
"I'm going to continue to have the opportunity to keep showing what I am about," Diabate said on Thursday. "I love it here. I love the coaches, staff, facility, everything about being a Cleveland Brown."
Coming out of Utah, Diabate burst onto the Browns' scene during the preseason with the utilization of his athleticism to make "I-can't-believe-that-happened" type of plays.
Against the Eagles, specifically, Diabate recorded a safety and forced fumble. He also snuck in a late in the second quarter sack, which undoubtedly left a good impression on the Browns, whose defense is predicated on generating pressure and disrupting plays in the backfield.
"You love ball-ware players," Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said in mid-August. "He's really taken, practice field to game field."
With his name locked on the Browns' 53-man roster, he now has a chance to continue doing what he does best — being a disrupter. And it is a task he is willing to take up heading into Week 1 against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sept. 10.
Cleveland Browns slotted as a ‘wild card’ team entering 2023 regular season
The 2023 season can go two ways for the Cleveland Browns, and both directions hinge on what version of quarterback Deshaun Watson the team sees.
