One of the most promising things that the Cleveland Browns showed during the preseason was how good the starting defense can be.
Throughout all four of the preseason games, the Browns first-team defense was creating plenty of problems for the opposing offense, including shutting out the Philadelphia Eagles in the “dress rehearsal.”
It was obvious last season that Cleveland had one of the best front sevens in all of football, and needed a better secondary in order to show off their talents. The Browns front office spent a lot money this off-season trying to rebuild a secondary that was constantly getting picked apart in 2017.
