Third-year defender impressing the Browns new defensive coordinator
As he nears a return, Mike Hall Jr.'s performance before his injury had his defensive coordinator excited.
The Cleveland Browns defense has consistently been one of the NFL's top units for several years. However, with key players like Myles Garrett and Jim Schwartz no longer on the roster, the team will need to find new difference-makers. ESPN's Benjamin Solak recently toured the team's training camp and shared his insights on the defense's needs.
When asked which players are making the biggest impression on the new defensive staff, Solak mentioned third-year defender Mike Hall Jr. Hall Jr., an undersized defensive tackle who previously started under Schwartz, is currently working his way back from injury but was noted for his impressive performance before his setback. If he can continue excelling alongside players like Jared Verse and Mason Graham, Coach Rutenberg could consider Hall Jr. a permanent addition to the Browns' defense.
