On this episode of Glory Daze, Braylon Edwards and Johnny Manziel break down what it was really like playing for the Cleveland Browns. From Braylon’s days at Michigan and his unapologetic hate for Ohio State, to Johnny reflecting on the whirlwind of his NFL years, the two connect over their parallel journeys through hype, pressure, and controversy. The conversation goes straight into their rocky relationship with the Browns — how it felt playing for a city that never fully embraced them, the tension with the organization, and what it was like navigating the weight of Cleveland’s expectations. They share memories of hanging with LeBron James & Carmelo Anthony, life in the Cleveland spotlight, and how off-field distractions often became the headline. This is a conversation full of honesty, perspective, and the kind of behind-the-scenes stories that every sports fan will want to hear. You can check Braylon out every day on "The Braylon Edwards Show" on the Woodward Sports Network.
