CLEVELAND — Tommy Rees went from being a ball boy for the Cleveland Browns to running their offense. Cleveland coach Kevin Stefanski hired Rees as his offensive coordinator, promoting him after firing Ken Dorsey following a season in which the Browns went 3-14 and averaged a league-low 15.2 points per game. Rees spent last season as Cleveland's tight ends coach, working with Mike Vrabel, who spent a year as a consultant with the Browns before being named New England's coach this week. Vrabel had been expected to bring Rees to the Patriots with him, but Stefanski, who said on Jan. 6 that he planned to interview internal candidates, beat him to the punch.
