Juan Thornhill taking leadership, green dot next?

Two years ago, Cleveland Browns fans were excited for safety John Johnson III to come in and take over the defense. Considered the leader of the Los Angeles Rams stellar unit, Cleveland hoped Johnson would help set things straight for DC Joe Woods.

As all Browns fans can attest, none of that ever happened as Johnson’s defenses were often out of place, struggled with the simple things and rarely were in the right place.

Johnson was released this offseason and remains a free agent while Woods caught on as the defensive coordinator, but not play caller, for the New Orleans Saints.
