Barkevious Mingo spoke to the media for the first time as a Cleveland Brown. Mary Kay Cabot of the Plain Dealer relayed Mingo's comments via Twitter.
• Mingo talked about the team, a new teammate and his visit to Cleveland prior to the draft:
#Browns Barkevious Mingo re-iterated that he had a great visit to Cle and got a great vibe from #Browns when he was here. Met w/ Horton, etc

#Browns Mingo on Kruger: "Terrific defensive end, it's going to be hard for offensive linemen to try to slide one way or the other.''

#Browns Mingo wants to change Cle's losing ways: "Get to the quarterback, cause turnovers and win games.''

• He also seems to have the level of confidence you want from a sixth overall pick:
#Browns Mingo said "I think I'm the best-rusher'' in the draft. Hopes to show it first game.

#Browns Mingo stressed again that it was his job to contain the many mobile quarterbacks he played this season, limited sacks.

• Despite his attire, Mingo said he had no idea the Browns were going to draft him:
#Browns Barkevious Mingo said he had no idea the Browns were going to take him, but coincidentally wore #Browns colors to draft.
