Cleveland Browns beloved mascot Swagger passes away at age 6

The face is unforgettable. Loving and kind. The loss of Cleveland Browns mascot Swagger at the age of 6 Friday to cancer has the team and its fans soaked in sadness.

Swaggercame to Cleveland as a pup and grew to a 145-pound full-grown bullmastiff who trotted through team facilities. Swagger made his way through the tunnel at every Browns home game from 2014 to the midpoint of this past season.

His legacy will be carried on by his son, SJ, who took over in Week 10 in 2019. SJ will make regular appearances on Dawg Pound Drive and events throughout the community.
