CLEVELAND -- Nothing else is in rookie linebacker Barkevious Mingos way but some blockers. The Browns signed the No. 6 overall pick in this years NFL draft to a four-year contract on Sunday. The deal, which is worth over $16 million, includes a team option in the fifth year. Mingos agent, Jeff Guerriero, finalized the package with the Browns early in the morning. Mingo had been the teams only unsigned rookie as the sides clashed over "offset" language. However, the agreement means the speedy outside linebacker will not miss any significant time and will be on the field Thursday when the Browns open their first training camp under first-year coach Rob Chudzinski. The Browns were able to keep the offset language in the contract, which means they will not have to pay him the remainder of his deal if he is cut before it expires and signs with another team. Mingo will receive his entire signing bonus by December. The Browns previously signed their other rookies -- cornerback Leon McFadden, safety Jamoris Slaughter, defensive end Armonty Bryant and guard Garrett Gilkey -- to deals. The 6-foot-4, 240-pound Mingo played in 40 games at LSU. He made 15 starts and recorded 119 tackles and 15 sacks. Even before he was drafted, Mingo heard skeptics say hes too light to play linebacker in the pros and will have a difficult time against bigger, stronger offensive linemen. However, Mingo insists his weight wont be an issue and the Browns are confident his exceptional quickness will give him an advantage. Mingo played defensive end in college, but will switch to outside linebacker in new co-ordinator Ray Hortons 3-4, multi-front alignment. He mostly worked with the second-team defence in spring practices, behind Paul Kruger and Jabaal Sheard. Mingo, though, is expected to have an impact on Clevelands defence in his first season.

PARIS -- Formula One newcomer Esteban Ocon has spoken of his desire to drive for Ferrari in the future, saying it would fulfill a dream of emulating childhood idol Michael Schumacher.The 19-year-old Frenchman is early into his F1 career and competing for the Manor team, which recently drafted him in after terminating the contract of Indonesian driver Rio Haryanto.Sundays Italian GP in Monza -- where the seven-time F1 champion Schumacher won 10 years ago -- was just Ocons second F1 race. He came 18th.Ocon has been touted as a future star after winning the European Formula 3 championship in 2014 and last years GP3 series.Speaking to former Ferrari driver Jean Alesi in an interview with Canal Plus television Sunday, Ocon spoke of his burning ambition to join Ferrari one day.I hope so. Its always been my dream, honestly ... Ever since I was little, when I had a Schumacher cap and the Ferrari clothes, Ocon said. When I won my first title in France (as a junior) I was wearing the Ferrari racing suit.Ocon had a brief taste of life at Ferrari when, two years ago, the Italian team gave him a test run in its F1 car following his F3 championship win.Its my dream, obviously, to join them one day, said Ocon, who won French karting titles in several age groups as a junior. You can really feel the history here.Ocon finished 16th on his F1 debut at the Belgian GP one week ago, and admits to finding it tough playing catch-up late into the season.Its not easy coming in after 12 Grand Prix, he told Canal Plus. The important thing is not to make mistakes.With veteranns like Jenson Button and Felipe Massa on the verge of retirement, young drivers like 18-year-old star Max Verstappen, Ocon and 24-year-old Belgian driver Stoffel Vandoorne are seen as the sports future stars.ddddddddddddVerstappen has already made history -- as both the youngest to win an F1 race and the youngest to qualify on the front row of the grid -- and he is electrifyingly quick.But Ocon has strong credentials.When he won the F3 championship, Verstappen finished behind him in third place. Toto Wolff, the head of motorsport for Mercedes, has spoken highly of Ocon and other teams have also been keen to test him out.He took part in the first practice of the Abu Dhabi GP in November 2014 for the Lotus F1 team -- which is now Renault -- and also did some post-race testing with Force India. Prior to joining Manor, he was Renaults designated reserve driver this year and also raced for Mercedes in Germanys DTM touring car championship.Although some drivers arrive with massive financial backing furthering their bid to get a seat, Ocon has no bitterness toward them.A lot of drivers arrive because they pay, but theyre good as well. Obviously, because otherwise it wouldnt work out, he said. There are others who arrive, like me, who didnt pay for their (place); or other very good ones, like Stoffel.Vandoorne will race for McLaren next season, offering up a potentially thrilling contest between three of F1s brightest talents.
