The biggest blow to the Cleveland Browns season occurred before training camp started. The torn pectoral muscle of Desmond Bryant caused a seismic shift in the Browns’ outside linebacker room that will be felt for seasons down the line.
The Browns entered the 2016 training camp needing to see marked improvement from the outside linebacker position. Outside linebacker was such a great concern that the Browns spent the No. 32 overall pick in the draft on Emmanuel Ogbah, whom they planned to use at outside linebacker.
Ogbah fit the mold of the “new” outside linebacker.
