Shon Coleman 'leading the charge' at Browns LT competition

It remains unclear who will be Joe Thomas’ heir at left tackle, but the Browns are giving the first crack at it.

Coleman, the third-year offensive lineman and third-round pick in 2016, worked with Cleveland's first-team offense as offseason workouts came a close.

“He is leading the charge,” offensive line coach Bob Wylie said last week.

That, however, doesn’t mean the job is Coleman’s to lose. Not by any stretch. Instead, the Browns will mix and match a host of candidates — including right tackle Chris Hubbard and versatile rookie Austin Corbett — at the position in order to field the best possible unit in the fall.
