    Troubled UF wide receiver Antonio Callaway did not have to wait for long to hear his name following two disappointing days in the NFL draft.

    Considered a first-round talent, Callaway was bypassed during the first three rounds because of off-the-field issues, including testing positive for marijuana at last month’s NFL scouting combine.

    But on Saturday, the Cleveland Browns decided to take a chance on the 21-year-old Miami native and traded up to select him with the No. 105 pick — or the fifth pick of the fourth round.

    If Callaway can clean up his act, he could be one of the steals of the 2018 draft.

    ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. said he at one point ranked Callaway among his top-20 players available.

    Fellow analyst Todd McShay called Callaway the “best receiver from a talent standpoint in this draft.”

    But 11 wide receivers were selected ahead of Callaway due to his off-the-field issues, including his suspension last season.
