The Cleveland Browns have become a trendy team to buy, even before they finally posted a winning record and made it to the postseason last year after a long drought. Their free agency and draft splurge on the defensive side of the ball, adding players like John Johnson III and Jadeveon Clowney, only helped the perception that their arrow is still pointing up.
While the Browns’ offense took a major step forward last year with first-year head coach Kevin Stefanski, the team is looking for the defense to grow. Part of that hope for improvement came from two players who were projected to be starters in 2020 who missed the entire season due to injury.
