CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Who is the Cleveland Browns oldest starter on defense?

It's 30-year-old Jason McCourty.

And who is No. 2?

It's 27-year-old Jamie Collins.

I found that out reading an ESPN story by Mike Rodak.

Rodak went through the projected starting lineups of every NFL team. He didn't have McCourty as a starter, but the veteran played every snap in the 21-18 loss to Pittsburgh.

The overall point of the story is the Browns will have the youngest starting lineup in the NFL ... by far.

ESPN lists the Browns' average age as 24.
