Second year defender named Browns ‘breakout candidate’

The focus for the Cleveland Browns this offseason has been simple: Improve the defensive line and add weapons for the offense. The big, shiny parts of the NFL have been under the microscope for GM Andrew Berry and he has come out swinging starting with the hiring of DC Jim Schwartz and the signing drafting and trading for both defensive linemen and pass catchers.

While those areas, along with what version of QB Deshaun Watson, will get the attention, the development of younger players on the roster will also be important. With draft picks traded away from the last two seasons, third-round selections CM Martin Emerson and WR Cedric Tillman lead each draft class.
