Report: Sam Darnold will wear brown tie at NFL draft

Sam Darnold will wear a brown tie to the 2018 NFL Draft, a possible hint that he's sure the Cleveland Browns will select him first overall, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Wednesday, according to Matt Lombardi of The Spun.

A video on NFL.com, in which Darnold is seen shopping for his Thursday evening attire, does indeed show a brown tie around the USC product's neck as he tries on a suit jacket.

Darnold, Wyoming's Josh Allen, and Oklahoma's Baker Mayfield are all believed to have a legitimate chance at hearing their respective names called first. UCLA's Josh Rosen is expected to be picked early as well, but hasn't been rumored to be atop the Browns' draft board.

Cleveland has managed to maintain great mystery over which quarterback prospect it'll tap to be the next face of the franchise, and general manager John Dorsey told Steve Wyche of NFL Network that not even his wife knows who he's going to draft at No. 1.

There's virtually no chance the Browns trade the first overall pick, however, as Dorsey also said he's received no legitimate offers for the selection.
