The Cleveland Browns are recognized for their formidable defense, a cornerstone of their recent success. In a recent ranking by Sports Illustrated's Gilberto Manzano, the Browns' defensive trio, consisting of Myles Garrett, Denzel Ward, and Carson Schwesinger, was placed seventh among NFL teams. This follows a setback with linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah's season-ending neck injury, prompting the team to draft Schwesinger in the second round for reinforcement. Garrett, an elite pass rusher, has consistently recorded at least 12 sacks for five seasons and recently secured a four-year, $160 million extension, emphasizing his value to the franchise.
