David Njoku was drafted by the Cleveland Browns with the No. 29 pick just a few weeks ago, so it would be understandable if he hasn’t been familiarized with all of his teammates yet.
But one would think he’d know who Joe Thomas is. The seven-time All-Pro tackle has been one of the NFL’s best offensive lineman for nearly a decade and is one of the faces of the franchise.
Njoku, however, clearly wasn’t aware of this.
It was an honor being invited to dinner with the @browns rookies tonight. Got to hear the great @JimBrownNFL32 speak!!

I told him I'm a player/coach. Mostly I'll be coaching, but you will see me playing on sundays. 😂

Given they’ll be sharing a huddle in the upcoming season, we have a feeling Njoku and Thomas will get to know each other fairly soon.
