Cleveland Browns: Steve Wilks calls Jermaine Whitehead a defensive leader

Heading into 2019, the Cleveland Browns will look much different on defense. After two seasons of Gregg Williams calling the shots on that side of the ball, the Browns will now be turning to Steve Wilks who was the head coach of the Arizona Cardinals in 2018.

Before that, Wilks was with the Carolina Panthers as a defensive backs coach who worked his way up to assistant head coach and defensive coordinator. During his time with Carolina, which went back to 2012, Wilks was part of a strong defense and hopes to bring the same toughness and consistency to Cleveland.
