Browns coach expects breakout year for Mason Graham in 2026

Cleveland Browns defensive line coach Jacques Cesaire expressed confidence in Mason Graham's upcoming season. Cesaire highlighted Graham's intelligence and hand technique, suggesting that his performance will significantly improve from his rookie year. Graham, the No. 5 overall pick in 2025, recorded only half a sack last season despite making 49 tackles and having 36 pressures. With Myles Garrett traded to the Rams, Graham's role is expected to expand, and the Browns are hopeful his pass rushing will translate into more sacks this season.
