(Story) Ohio native son Bernie Kosar has been one of the most revered players in Cleveland Browns franchise history. Kosar helped the Miami Hurricanes win their first national title in 1983. Fast forward two years later, he entered the National Football League in controversial fashion. Nonetheless, Kosar got what he had always wanted since he was a child growing up in Northeast Ohio: to play quarterback for the Browns. Kosar was as good as advertised. He led the Browns to five postseason appearances in his first five years in the NFL. He also earned two Pro Bowl berths along the way. Unfortunately, Denver Broncos quarterback John Elway repeatedly tormented Kosar’s Browns back in the day. Despite never having won a Super Bowl for Cleveland, Bernie Kosar remains one of the faces of the Browns franchise to this day. Bernie Kosar attended the University of Miami from 1982 to 1984. He majored in finance.Kosar starred at quarterback for head football coaches Howard Schnellenberger and Jimmy Johnson.Ironically, Kosar contemplated transferring because of the fierce competition at quarterback, which also included Vinny Testaverde and Jim Kelly. Kosar thought about transferring to a school closer to home such as the Ohio State Buckeyes or Notre Dame Fighting Irish, per Poisal. Bernie eventually remained at Miami and redshirted his true freshman year in 1982. He had a decent redshirt freshman season with the Hurricanes a year later. He had 2,329 passing yards, 15 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions in eleven games. Behind Kosar’s exploits, Miami won a school record eleven games in the 1983 NCAA season. This would be Schnellenberger’s last as Hurricanes head football coach. With Kosar at quarterback, the Hurricanes won their first national title in 1983. Fifth-ranked Miami beat the top-ranked Nebraska Cornhuskers in the Orange Bowl, 31-30. Nonetheless, Kosar got what he had always wanted since he was a child growing up in Northeast Ohio: to play quarterback for the Browns. The Cleveland Browns made Bernie Kosar the first overall selection of the 1985 NFL Supplemental Draft. Kosar took the unconventional route so he could play for the Cleveland Browns—the team he had always wanted to play for since his childhood days in Northeast Ohio. When the Vikings learned Kosar was ineligible for the regular draft, they pointed an accusing finger at Kosar and his agent for allegedly rigging the regular draft setup. The Oilers were also in the mix. They threatened to file a lawsuit against the league if Kosar didn’t participate in the regular draft. If the NFL somehow coerced Kosar to enter the regular draft, his agent threatened to sue the league, per Donahue. NFL commissioner Pete Rozelle acted as an intermediary among the involved parties. He ultimately gave Bernie Kosar the freedom to decide the outcome. It was a decision that altered the course of Cleveland Browns football forever. Unfortunately, he had a huge stumbling block: the league allowed only college seniors and graduates to participate in its regular and supplemental drafts at the time. Kosar was in a bind. He’d skipped his final two years of eligibility at Miami. Kosar had to complete a combined 24 credit hours in 1985 so he could become eligible for the supplemental draft, per BrownsNation.com’s Ben Donahue. While all this was going on, the NFL announced it hadn’t received his documents for the regular draft. The Minnesota Vikings had Kosar on their radar. They even traded up with the Houston Oilers so they could select him second overall in the regular draft. #ucss #nfl #browns #cleveland #brownsnews #deshaunwatson #brownsrumors Cleveland sports fans are the best.
