In a matter of months, the Browns top two picks in 2024 went from fierce rivals to part of each other's football family.

's face said it all. There was no hiding the raw emotions of being carted out of the Big House during"The Game," back on Thanksgiving weekend, his broken leg sealed up in an air cast.

Five months later, Zinter would be sitting behind a microphone in Berea, Ohio a third-round draft pick. As fate would have it, the player who inadvertently fell into his leg on that faithful Saturday in November – Ohio State defensive tackle– was seated right next to him. Hall had been selected by the Browns one round prior. There they sat, suddenly teammates.

As Zinter noted, the play was a total cosmic fluke. That didn't stop Hall Jr. from check in on Zinter throughout his recovery. He also sympathized with the 23-year-old, who could only watch from the sideline has Michigan made a championship run without him."I know he wanted to play in the National Championship game," Hall said."Everybody would want to do that. It was just a tragic event that happened.

“We were just talking about that, and were just saying ... that was the National Championship game," Hall said."So they won a national championship, so it was no coincidence. But, I mean, just seeing that and it’s obviously the biggest rivalry in all of sport."
