Schwesinger Leads Browns Defense | NFL News

0:00It's September 7th, NFL News Today starts now, AI powered and game ready. I'm Cory with the story. Yo, so the Cleveland Browns defense was straight fire last season, finishing fourth in the league, giving up barely 284 yards A, game. And this rookie linebacker, Carson Schwessinger, man, he balled out. He racked up a crazy 156 tackles and snag defensive rookie of the year. Now, after that monster rookie year, the big question was if he'd make the NFL's top 100 players list, and guess what, he did. He landed at number 85, which is pretty wild for just his second year in the league. Schwessinger's already setting a high standard, but the Browns are looking for him to level up again this year. They got a new defensive coordinator, but the core of that defense is still solid. Plus, he even linked up with his idol, Luke Keckley, this offseason, to sharpen his skills. Even with Miles Garrett heading to the Rams, the Browns are still expected to be a top tier defense.

1:02They brought in Jared Verse to help fill that gap. If Schwessinger keeps playing at that elite level, or even gets better, this defense is going to be a problem for everybody. So yeah, keep an eye on Schwessinger and that Browns defense. They're building something special over there, and this young linebacker is leading the charge.
