Rush and coverage go together, they say, and the Cleveland Browns understand that well. They benefited from one of the top pass-rush attacks in the NFL combined with a strong secondary. While Myles Garrett claimed the Defensive Player of the Year Award, the secondary’s stout coverage helped him out.
Indeed, longtime Browns cornerback Denzel Ward believes he’s not the only No. 1 on the roster. “He’s a number one corner, I believe as well, able to lock guys down on his respective side of the field”, he said of Greg Newsome II.
The Browns drafted Ward fourth overall in the 2018 NFL Draft.
