Watch Browns lineman try to kick 25-yard field goals
Each day after practice the Cleveland Browns hold a post-practice competition. Thursday, the Browns held a big guy kicker contest and there was more on the line than just pride. The contest would determine who would wear the orange and brown camouflage jerseys next practice.

11 offensive and defensive lineman attempted to kick a 25-yard field goal, including Joe Thomas and Danny Shelton, before Alex Mack put one through the uprights. Browns defensive tackle Phil Taylor had a chance to extend the contest, but his field goal missed.

Mike Pettine told ClevelandBrowns.com, "Our backup kicker is not in the O-Line room or in the D-Line room."
While the offense won Thursday's post-practice competition, the defense still holds an early training camp lead 3-2.
