Browns have last-minute meeting with Chris Conley

Cleveland’s last-minute meal-related visit with Central Florida receiver Breshad Perriman was followed by another last-minute meal-related visit in the same geographic area.

Per a league source, a Browns contingent led by G.M. Ray Farmer had lunch on Monday with Georgia receiver Chris Conley.

Conley ran the 40-yard dash in 4.35 seconds at the Scouting Combine, the third fastest time for all receivers in Indy. His 45-inch vertical was the best ever for a wideout, and one inch short of the Combine record. He also recorded a broad jump of 11 feet, seven inches.

And then there’s this: Conley wrote and directed a 26-minute Star Wars fan film entitled Retribution, which currently has nearly 490,000 views on YouTube. (Rolling Stone has interviewed Conley about his film making debut.)

Whatever happens with Conley, he’s a fascinating prospect, and the Browns were sufficiently fascinated to spend some time with him only three days before the draft begins.
