ANALYSISDrafted 33rd overall this spring, Schwesinger is in an excellent position for a starting job after the Browns lost their top two linebackers from last year. The team ruled out
Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah (neck) for all of 2025 in May, with
Jordan Hicks then announcing his retirement Friday. Schwesinger,
Jerome Baker,
Mohamoud Diabate and
Devin Bush are now the leading candidates to start at linebacker in Jim Schwartz's 4-3 defense.
