Robert Griffin III agreed to a two-year contract with the Browns on Thursday, which means he could have a chance to reunite with former Baylor teammate Josh Gordon.
Griffin and Gordon weren't on the same Baylor team for long, mostly due to the receiver's troubles off the field. Gordon in 2011 was suspended indefinitely for failed drug tests following a 2010 incident in which he was found asleep at a Taco Bell with marijuana in his car. But when the two were on the field together, they created magic.

Gordon, of course, will need to be reinstated by the league following his indefinite suspension. He has applied for reinstatement, but the NFL is taking its time. Commissioner Roger Goodell reportedly said Wednesday there won't be an update on Gordon's status until next week at the earliest.
If Gordon is reinstated, Griffin will have one of the league's better wideouts by his side in Cleveland. RGIII reportedly lobbied for the Redskins to draft Gordon in the 2012 supplemental draft. He also spoke of the receiver during his introductory press conference Thursday.
"Josh is family. I love the guy," he said. "He always knows he has a brother in me."
Griffin added he "won't be upset" if Gordon gets reinstated.
