GENERAL MANAGER JASON LICHT ON DRAFT NIGHT:

“[Tristan] is a great athlete, but just as importantly, he is a great guy. He is a hard worker. He is very smart – just a top- notch character guy, in addition to being a great player ... As Bruce [Arians] says, ‘No risk it, no biscuit.’ We had to give up a little capital to go get him, but in this case, we thought because of the player and the position – but especially the player – that it was worth it.” 2021 NFL DRAFT CLEVELAND, OHIO
