The Cleveland Browns defense was not exactly up to speed during the 2020 season.
Injuries, COVID-19, and general manager Andrew Berry realizing that he could not fix all the problems in one offseason meant that defensive coordinator Joe Woods had to make do with what he had on a weekly basis.
That changed this year as Berry used the draft and free agency to transform the defense to the point where the Browns will open the 2021 regular season with three new starters on the defensive line, two new starters (most likely) at linebacker, and three new starters (depending on injuries) in the secondary.
