Carson Schwesinger named to NFL's Top 100 after rookie season
Summary

Carson Schwesinger, a linebacker for the Cleveland Browns, has been ranked No. 93 in the NFL's Top 100 for 2026 following an impressive rookie season. Schwesinger was also awarded the Defensive Rookie of the Year and was a leading tackler for the Browns, helping the team rank fourth in yards allowed.

He aims to further establish himself as a core player for the Browns as they build their defense moving forward.
