The national media doesn't have very high expectations for the Browns in 2025, mostly because of the never-ending question marks on offense (specifically the quarterback). Outside of tight end, there isn't really an offense position group that you can pencil in for a productive season without any worry.
Luckily for Cleveland, the defense is a different story. There are many fewer pressing questions, and they have a perennial Defensive Player of the Year candidate in Myles Garrett. Along with Garrett, the defensive line features promising young guys like Mason Graham, Mike Hall Jr., and Isaiah McGuire, along with veterans Maliek Collins and Shelby Harris, among others.
