As the Cleveland Browns roster changes, a handful of young players have a real chance to step up, earn bigger roles, and take their game to the next level. Some may even have the opportunity to lock in their first season as an All-Pro. A few players stand out above the rest.
Jared Verse
With Myles Garrett gone, Verse will have a massive opportunity to join the Browns’ defense. He is likely to be the star of Cleveland’s pass rush. If he continues performing at the level he did during his first two seasons
in Los Angeles, it would not be shocking to see him become an All-Pro.
Carson Schwesinger
While it isn’t easy for an off-ball linebacker to earn All-Pro honors, Schwesinger is coming off an outstanding rookie season that earned him Defensive Rookie of the Year. He is already a breakout star in this league, so if he continues on this trajectory, he could certainly earn this honor.
Dark Horse: Quinshon Judkins
There will be some tough competition at running back across the league, but Judkins will have ample opportunity to get a significant number of snaps with the Browns. It will be interesting to see how Todd Monken intends to utilize Judkins in the offense, but the opportunity will be there for him to make a league-wide impact, making him a dark-horse candidate.
