The 2015 regular season was a struggle for the Cleveland Browns in many areas. One area in which they encountered difficulty was defending the air attack, ranking No. 22 overall in the league in pass defense. While the secondary is young and ought to be poised for improvement in 2016, opposing receivers featured in the upcoming schedule will not make this easy.
Although the Browns will need many of their young defenders to step up, the secondary’s success will depend a great deal on if their leader, cornerback Joe Haden, can complete an entire season injury free.
