Steelers rookie's dad flushes Browns-themed bathroom image

Justin Layne grew up a diehard Cleveland Browns fan. Things had to change, however, when the former Michigan State cornerback was drafted in the third round by the AFC North rival Pittsburgh Steelers.

Before the Cleveland native could even step on an NFL field, his family had some serious home redecorating to address.

"We're taking all the Browns stuff down," Layne said the night he was drafted.

Layne followed through on his promise. In a video last week for Steelers.com, the 83rd overall pick said he is "done" with the Browns and that his father, Deondre, was painting over a Browns-themed bathroom in Layne's childhood house.

His dad posted several pictures and a video of the bathroom transformation with a hand-painted Steelers logo on the wall and even a Terrible Towel hanging on the towel rack.

On Friday at Steelers rookie minicamp, Layne confirmed to ESPN that the transformation was complete.

"Yes, sir. Oh, yeah, Browns everywhere, my dad took it all down and replaced it — literally everything, every flag I had," Layne said. "So it's all done. We are fully committed."

From a shower curtain to the Steel Curtain, Layne has officially washed himself of any Browns fandom.
