GM Andrew Berry is solidly stacking Cleveland’s roster. Encourage #Browns fans to study the back third of Clowney’s last season in SEA &/t postseason run, after battling a core issue. Impact is on video. Yes he’s a great run-defender, ability to rush (circa ‘17 & ‘18) is there.

2017: DE Myles Garrett
2018: QB Baker Mayfield
