Three of the NFL’s finest athletes past and present share the same last name, which makes fans question if there is a connection among them. Greg Newsome is a new entrant into the NFL through the 2021 draft. Cleveland Browns fans wonder if he is related to Ozzie Newsome, a former tight-end for the Browns and now an NFL exec. There’s even speculation that Greg might be the son of Craig Newsome, a former Packers player whose career was cut short due to injuries and addiction struggles. But these athletes have no familial relationship, as some mistakenly report.

Ozzie Newsome is a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a player and won two Super Bowl rings as an executive, but his heart has never really left Tuscaloosa. Newsome still works for the NFL’s Baltimore Ravens as an executive vice president, having stepped away in 2018 from the general manager role he held for more than a decade.

CLEVELAND, Ohio – The last Hall of Famer drafted by the Browns spent draft day sitting by the phone in his apartment near the University of Alabama campus. In 1978, no one knew this young man would one day become a general manager in the National Football League. But when you listen to Ozzie Newsome looking back at the first round of the 1978 draft, he was already doing his own mock draft.

Ozzie Newsome practically groaned at the memory when he recalled how coach Marty Schottenheimer fostered accountability when he took over the 1984 Browns.
