Browns Nation

CBS Sports ranked K.C. Concepcion as the No. 6 rookie wide receiver based on his projected impact in the 2026 season.

Concepcion joins a young Cleveland Browns receiving corps but has the explosiveness to earn touches right away in Todd Monken’s offense. His versatility could also make him a factor in the return game.

Fantasy projections have Concepcion finishing with 50 receptions, 644 receiving yards and three touchdowns as a rookie.

Two Browns veterans may not survive a revamped roster.

Instead of letting an intense position battle cause tension in the quarterback room, Shedeur Sanders is keeping it entirely professional regarding his relationship with Deshaun Watson.

Sanders emphasized that mutual respect and constant communication are driving both players to simply maximize their potential rather than focusing on the looming competition.

Jared Verse didn’t hide his emotions when he learned he’d been traded. His first reaction was disappointment.

Leaving the team that drafted you is never easy, especially when you believed you were building something special. But once the initial shock faded, a new mindset took over.

“I’d be lying to y’all if I say it didn’t hurt. But once I got to Cleveland, I started getting excited. I’m here to be a little bit more aggressive. I want that to be the standard of defense across the nation. That’s Jared Verse defense.” 🗣️

That’s the mentality teams love to see. Rather than dwelling on what he left behind, Verse immediately embraced the opportunity in front of him.

Now, his focus is simple: bring an edge, a relentless attitude, and a new identity to one of the league’s most talented defenses 😤

ESPN surveyed NFL executives, coaches and scouts to rank the league’s top off-ball linebackers entering the 2026 season, and Carson Schwesinger came in at No. 3.

The reigning Defensive Rookie of the Year finished 2025 with 156 tackles, 11 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks and two interceptions.

League evaluators praised his elite speed, instincts and coverage ability, with one executive comparing him to Luke Kuechly.

The Browns' quarterback competition is turning heads even inside the locker room.

As the battle between Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders continues, Browns EDGE Jared Verse is impressed by what he's seen from both quarterbacks.

During his appearance on Good Morning Football, Verse had high praise for the competition:

“These are two great quarterbacks... so far I've just seen two elite quarterbacks battling it out.”

Competition brings out the best in players, and if Verse's assessment is any indication, Cleveland could have one of the most intriguing quarterback battles heading into the season.

Now the question is: Who will earn the starting job when it matters most?

The Browns might have found the NFL's next superstar linebacker.

After just one NFL season, Carson Schwesinger is already being called...
"Luke Kuechly reincarnated."

An NFL personnel executive praised the Browns star, saying:
"Elite speed, athleticism, instincts, ball skills."

ESPN's annual survey of NFL executives, coaches and scouts ranked Schwesinger as the No. 3 off-ball linebacker in football.

Jeremy Fowler summed it up perfectly:
"The next star linebacker has arrived."

His rookie season was unreal:
🔸156 tackles
🔸Defensive Rookie of the Year
🔸2+ sacks, 2+ interceptions & 10+ tackles for loss

He became the first rookie since Shaquille Leonard (2018) to hit all three marks in a season.

An AFC evaluator added:
"Plays fast, excellent instincts, good in coverage. Impressive for a rookie."

Even Browns linebackers coach Jason Tarver couldn't hide his excitement:
"Carson's so smart... his superpower is running to the ball and finding the ball. He wants to be really good at everything—covering, rushing, fitting runs—and just be a great teammate."

One season in... and Carson Schwesinger is already being mentioned alongside Luke Kuechly. That's elite company.

Michael Hall Jr. showed encouraging flashes despite another challenging season.

After returning from a major knee injury, the former second-round pick continued developing and gave Cleveland reasons to be excited about his future.

His 2025 production included:

🧡 1.5 sacks
🤎 11 total tackles (4 solo)
🧡 2 tackles for loss
🤎 4 QB hits

Now entering his third NFL season, Hall has an opportunity to build on that progress and become a bigger contributor along the Browns' defensive line.
