They still haven’t met in person as members of the Cleveland Browns, but center JC Tretter is already thrilled with how easily he get along with new right tackle Jack Conklin. Tretter was asked about how the prime new addition to the offensive line is working out so far during his conference call with reporters.
“I have spoken a bunch to Jack,” Tretter said Tuesday. “It is nice to have another veteran in the room who has been extremely experienced and one who has had a lot of individual success. He has been a great addition, too, of just being able to step in and pick up the system. I think he is kind of built for it.”
Conklin comes from Tennessee, which ran a similar zone blocking scheme that the Browns will deploy under new head coach Kevin Stefanski. Tretter also appreciates Conklin’s driven but affable personality,
“He has been a great guy, too, just to put in the room and another great personality. He kind of fits right in.”
