Traverse City native and former Michigan State University star linebacker Max Bullough has been signed to a reserve/future contract with the Cleveland Browns.

Bullough was one of six players picked up by the Browns Thursday. Bullough previously signed as an undrafted free agent with the Houston Texans in 2014. In 2015, he was promoted to the team's active roster. But after earning a four-game suspension in May 2017 for violating the NFL's performance-enhancing substance policy, Bullough was released by the Texans last June.

Bullough, a graduate of St. Francis High School, will enter his fourth NFL season this year. His younger brother, Riley Bullough - also a St. Francis graduate and former MSU linebacker - signed as an undrafted free agent with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2017. He was promoted to the team's active roster in December.
