EDGE Analysis

Schwesinger was all over the field in his NFL regular-season debut, finishing as the Browns' leading tackler while playing all 52 defensive snaps. His last tackle on Chase Brown late in the fourth quarter resulted in a five-yard loss that led to the Bengals punting the ball away two plays later. Schwesinger was the Browns' second-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, and the UCLA product figures to see a heavy workload in his first season.

Schwesinger called defensive plays in team drills on the first day of training camp, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Drafted 33rd overall this spring, Schwesinger is in an excellent position for a starting job after the Browns lost their top two linebackers from last year. The team ruled out Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah (neck) for all of 2025 in May, with Jordan Hicks then announcing his retirement Friday. Schwesinger, Jerome Baker, Mohamoud Diabate and Devin Bush are now the leading candidates to start at linebacker in Jim Schwartz's 4-3 defense.
