One of the few positives from the Cleveland Browns loss to Tampa Bay was the reappearance of Christian Kirksey blowing things up in the Tampa Bay backfield. He consistently applied pressure and came away with three tackles, one sack and one tackle for loss. More importantly, the eyeball test says he looked like his old self.
2018 was not a good year for him. The NFL is all about “what have you done for me lately?” and the answer concerning Kirksey is that he did not do much last year. He went on IR after playing only seven games, but even before that was not performing at the same level as previous years.
