It is Wednesday of Super Bowl week.
For those of you who are already fatigued by the Super Bowl coverage, here are the Browns Nation news and notes for the Cleveland Browns for Wednesday, February 9, 2022.

This was fun to listen to yesterday.
The debate over who the three best Browns players are since 1999 was a tough one.

Among those mentioned were Joel Bitonio, Nick Chubb, Josh Cribbs, Phil Dawson, Myles Garrett, and Joe Thomas.
With the exception of Cribbs, the others are freely discussed and given props for their talent.
Because Cribbs is often not in the discussion, here is a friendly reminder of what he could do.

2. Looking Back At Pro Bowl 1988
With all the discussion about how the Pro Bowl was played this year, it is helpful to look back at a memorable Pro Bowl with a Cleveland flair.
Marty Schottenheimer coached the AFC team in the 1988 Pro Bowl weeks after losing a heartbreaker in the AFC Championship to the Denver Broncos.
Schottenheimer prepared the AFC players as he would a regular game including Broncos quarterback John Elway who was partially responsible for the Browns’ ouster from the playoffs.

4. NFL Combine Is Next Month
It is hard to believe that the 2022 NFL Combine is less than a month away.
It runs from March 1-7, 2022.
That is something to look forward to especially since the 2021 NFL Combine was canceled because of COVID-19.
Once again, top college players will gather at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana for an audience of NFL scouts and coaches.
NFL executive Troy Vincent say the 2022 NFL Combine will be in Indy. The 2023 Combine is up for bid between Dallas, Los Angeles and Indy. Vincent said they will focus on making the athlete experience better, as well.

This could be the final year the NFL Combine is in Indianapolis as other cities are bidding on it for 2023.
Happy Wednesday Browns Fans!
