One of the players the Browns got from the Jets in the Braylon Edwards trade is linebacker and special teams player Jason Trusnik.Trusnik played high school ball at Nordonia, and his signed New York Jets jersey hangs on the wall outside the gym at the school.He not only played football there but was also a state-qualifying wrestler his senior year.Head football coach Al Huge was Trusnik's position coach back in 2002. He thinks the Browns will love Trusnik's work ethic."One of the hardest working guys that you'll see," Huge said. "He was a skinny kid when he was a ninth-grader and a 10th-grader. Then he filled out by his senior year. That's when we made him a defensive end and he was a natural. He worked hard, he listened to everything you said. He was coachable. He played hard and he's very good."Trusnik was named AFC special teams player of the week when the Jets beat the Titans earlier this season.
