The Cleveland Browns have invested considerable assets into their defensive line in recent years.
This year it was Myles Garrett (the No. 1 overall selection), Larry Ogunjobi and Caleb Brantley in the 2017 NFL Draft. Last year brought Emmanuel Ogbah, the first pick of the second round, and Carl Nassib.
But it all started in 2015 with Danny Shelton, the club’s first-round pick and the No. 12 overall selection in that year’s draft.
Shelton has been solid at times while playing nose tackle under two of the worst defensive coordinators in the NFL. He has also been inconsistent and struggled to keep his weight at a productive level during the course of the season.
