The Browns' defense has been their saving grace this season, and the reasons have been obvious. Through Week 11, the Browns have the league's top-ranked unit against the pass and 14th-best against the run. They've allowed the second-fewest yards of any team in the entire league. That is worthy of praise for guys like Myles Garrett, Denzel Ward, Ronnie Hickman, Mason Graham, and Carson Schwesinger, who have been the heart and soul of this team through a turbulent season.
One of the defense's biggest contributors earned his way to an unlikely spot that not many people predicted coming out of training camp.
