Downingtown's Devlin Plays For Browns in Preseason Loss
Quarterback plays briefly at the end of Cleveland's final preseason game
Former Downingtown East quarterback Pat Devlin saw limited action in his latest NFL chance, playing briefly in the Browns’ 24-0 loss to the Chicago Bears Thursday night.
Devlin took the field in the game’s closing minutes, throwing two passes and completing them both, for a total of 20 yards.
Devlin, who has spent the last several years bouncing on the rosters and practice squads of various NFL teams without getting any regular season playing time, signed with the Browns two weeks ago following an injury to starting quarterback Johnny Manziel.
