Alabama standout Minkah Fitzpatrick spent his college career with the nation's top powerhouse, and now the defensive back wants to bring his winning experience to the NFL's worst team - which holds the first and fourth overall picks in the draft - the Cleveland Browns.

"I think it's just an issue with the culture around there and I'm just going to have to go down there and use what I learned at Alabama and apply it to the Browns," Fitzpatrick said Sunday, according to Dan Labbe of the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

The versatile defender - who could play at safety or cornerback at the pro level - likely won't be the first player selected in the draft, but is a strong contender to join Cleveland three picks later.
