Schwesinger's Rise: Browns' DPOY Candidate

The Cleveland Browns defense, led by rookie linebacker Carson Schwesinger, has emerged as one of the leagues best, ranking first in passing yards allowed and second in total yards. Schwesinger, drafted 33rd in 2025, has excelled in his green dot role, leading the team in tackles and contributing to the pass rush. His consistent performance against the run has filled the void left by injured linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah. With an impressive Week Eleven showing, Schwesinger is now a favorite for the Defensive Player of the Year Award, aiming to become the first Browns player to win it since Chip Banks in 1982.
