Darryl "Buster" Skrine (pronounced "screen") (born April 26, 1989) is an American football defensive back for the Cleveland Browns. He played college football for the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, where he was twice named to the First Team All-Southern Conference.[1][2][3] He was selected with the 137th pick in the fifth round of the 2011 NFL Draft by the Cleveland Browns.[4] In August 2011, Browns coach Pat Shurmur praised Skrine's performance in the pre-season: "Buster competes. He's a scrappy guy. You see him flash. Neither one is intimidated by the other. It's been good."[5][6]

Skrine developed the nickname, "Buster," from grandmother, because his father shares the same first name.[7]
