it has been rumored that the browns could draft teddy ginn to play corner and to return kicks
in high school he was an all state corner and was recruited to ohio state as a corner but injuries forced tressell to play him at WR
this would make sense because they lost northcutt their punt returner and they have to find a corner to replace gary baxter who tore petaller tendons in both knees and mccutheon is always injured
any comments about that browns fans

Nope, won't happen! Defensive backs are just wide receivers who can't catch, and Ginn Jr. can catch so he will be on the other side of the ball.

Ted Ginn Jr. Has showed much interest in becoming a CB once again. He has been quoted as saying "My heart is always as a defender" now to say that the team that drafts him will most likely put him at WR. Where he is under developed. It is also interesting to note that Ted Ginn won Ohio Defensive player his senior year in High School, and was a highly recruited DB. There is a chance we might see him again on the other side of the ball but don't count on it.

Absolutely not. Number one, Corners make less money than WR's, why would he want to play a position where he is going to get paid less?
Second, he was the second best receiver in college football last year, he will be a top 15 pick as a WR, but a late first rounder as a CB.
Besides, the Browns would be kicked out of the league if they drafted Ginn while Calvin Johnson was still on the board.

he's a better at WR than corner. corners need diffrent skills that WRs. i mean it is just better to keep him as a WR just to
college and high school is totally diffrent. Ginn can catch, but can he tackle? can he shadow a reciver? can he fade a reciver? these usually are skills that are taught in college, and if he didnt learn it, then he won't succeed well as a CB. if you won't take him as a WR, someone else will.
as a kick returner i think thats a great idea however, alot of teams ever since Devin Hester last year has been looking for good kick returners.

He may play cplay corner or atleast try it out
but no way are the Browns getting him
there are picking him when calvin Johnson and Adrian Peterson up for grabs, unless a team is willing to trade alot to move up that high
I doubt it

If you draft that kid where the Browns are sitting 3? 4? Then you better put him on the field in every capacity allowed by law.

What the hell. TED Ginn is a wide reciver. Why in the world would he play defense? I can see him returning kicks and punts but defense, NO!
