Did Carson Schwesinger land on the ESPN top 100, or was he snubbed?
Carson Schwesinger, a rookie linebacker for the Cleveland Browns, made a significant impact in the 2025 NFL season. The Browns' defense, led by Schwesinger, ranked fourth in total defense, allowing an average of 283.6 yards per game. Schwesinger's standout performance earned him the Defensive Rookie of the Year award, with 156 combined tackles.
His impressive season led to him being ranked 85th in ESPN's Top 100 NFL Players, a remarkable achievement for someone in his second year of professional football. Despite new defensive coordinator Mike Rutenberg replacing Jim Schwartz, the Browns' defense remains solid, with Schwesinger's talent as a key factor. Additionally, Schwesinger connected with his childhood idol, Hall of Famer Luke Kuechly, in hopes of further enhancing his skills.
If he continues to play at a high level in 2026, Cleveland is expected to maintain its top ten standing in the NFL.
