Just after signing with the Browns, Thornhill raved about how excited he was to be in Cleveland and his positive first impression of the city he now calls home.

"It has impressed me. The facilities are truly amazing here," Thornhill said in March. "I got here last night actually and the first thing I looked at was downtown and it shocked me. It was really beautiful and I wasn't expecting that. So I'm excited to get here and actually be able to work my way around and see what everything's like."

The Browns' safety now has a permanent reminder of how quickly he fell in love with the city and his new team on his arm, inking in this new chapter of his life and career.
