Back in 2021, the Cleveland Browns had an issue at cornerback. Like every other NFL club, nobody can have enough good cornerbacks who have the skills to cover their opponent’s best receiver.
In the 2021 NFL draft, quarterbacks Trevor Lawrence, Zach Wilson, and Trey Lance, went 1-2-3. The best player in the draft, LB Micah Parsons, was selected with the 12th pick by the Dallas Cowboys.
At the time, the secondary for the Browns was Denzel Ward and Terrance Mitchell at corner, and Andrew Sendejo and Karl Joseph manned the safety position. Ward had just received his second Pro Bowl, so one cornerback spot was in great shape.
