Graham, selected fifth overall in the 2025 draft, looks to solidify his role after missing part of training camp due to a minor injury. With the Browns dealing with other injuries along the defensive line, Graham's contribution is vital. His past season included a notable 8.3% pass rush win rate, the best among rookies.
