Browns snaps taken by 4th youngest set of players, youngest set of defenders in NFL

The Cleveland Browns having a young roster is no surprise to anyone. Sometimes the age of a roster can be a little misleading because it doesn’t actually show who is actually playing in games.

The vast majority of teams believe in building their team through the draft. Even the Los Angeles Rams, famous for “F them picks,” have 10 selections in the upcoming draft. Young players are cheaper, less likely to get injured, have more upside and are, generally, more athletic than veterans.

The assumption is that rebuilding teams will be young and then become older as they become successful.
