Middle Linebacker · Cleveland Browns

Carson Schwesinger

No. 49 · 2nd season

The rookie who made everyone remember his name

Making a list like this usually takes years. Carson Schwesinger didn't wait.

The Cleveland Browns linebacker finished his first NFL season as Defensive Rookie of the Year — the kind of award that tells you a player didn't just survive the jump from college, they arrived. Now the NFL's own peers have voted him onto the Top 100 list, landing at No. 93. Players vote on that list themselves, which means the people trying to block him and beat him spent some time thinking about him too.

For a first-year player to show up on a list built on reputation, that's not a given. It means the film was loud enough to travel. It means people who hadn't played the Browns yet were already taking notes.

Schwesinger is 93 names into a list of the best players in football — and he's only getting started.
