While standing on stage in Cleveland, Harris had to ignore boos from the pro-Browns crowd. But Harris pushed through and announced Freiermuth as the pick.
Before announcing the selection, Harris walked on stage, waved a mini Terrible Towel, and said, "Hello, thank you for that nice Cleveland welcome. I do want to say hello to my Cleveland friends."
