A No. 2 overall pick turned draft bust is getting another chance, this time with the Cleveland Browns.

The Browns signed offensive tackle Greg Robinson to an undisclosed contract, the team announced.

Robinson was selected second overall in the 2014 NFL Draft by the then St. Louis Rams. He spent three inconsistent seasons with the franchise, before being traded to the Detroit Lions in 2017. The lineman started six games at left tackle with the Lions before an ankle injury ended his season.

Robinson is widely regarded as one of the largest busts in NFL draft history, but will get a chance to earn a roster spot with Cleveland in training camp.

In a corresponding move, the Browns waived offensive tackle Roderick Johnson, a fifth-round pick in 2017.
