For the second time in his five-year NFL career, former Notre Dame defensive end Isaac Rochell is on the move.

Rochell signed a deal with the Cleveland Browns, the team announced Wednesday. A seventh-round pick by the Los Angeles Chargers in the 2017 NFL Draft, Rochell has carved out quite a career for himself so far. He spent last season with the Indianapolis Colts and has 91 tackles, 9.5 sacks and one interception in a handful of seasons.

In four years at Notre Dame (2013-16), Rochell recorded 166 total tackles, 21.0 tackles for loss and 4.5 sacks.
