Nate Orchard set a Utah school record and ranked second in the nation last season with 18.5 sacks.
As a member of the Browns, Orchard has seen his snaps and responsibility increase by the week but has yet to bring the opposing quarterback to the ground as a professional.
Neither defensive coordinator Jim O’Neil, outside linebackers coach Brian Fleury nor Orchard himself are concerned in the slightest for one big reason. Orchard’s strength against the run has become one of his top assets, and it’s a role he’s embraced.
The way Orchard explains it, this isn’t a new development to his game.
