Browning has addressed his weight issue in high school and hopefully that will continue, much like Marcus Green and Steve Rehring, once he gets to Columbus. Browning looks noticeably lighter this year. In the end the Clarke comparison might be accurate but I'm not sure it's a fair comparison right now.

Clarke was a pretty good player, even when he was overweight (he did have 43 starts during his career). Obviously, he was best when his weight was well-managed.
