BEREA, Ohio -- There was a sequence on the final play of one of the Cleveland Browns' OTA practices last week that, if a harbinger of things to come, could mean new heights for a defense that was already one of the NFL's best in 2023.
Reserve quarterback Tyler Huntley took a shotgun snap from inside the red zone, and after leaving the pocket, threw a pass into the end zone. But rookie linebacker Nathaniel Watson undercut the pass for a diving interception, sending his defensive teammates into a frenzy and sprinting to the other end zone for a photo op.
