Mason Graham aims to energize Browns defense in training camp
Summary

The Cleveland Browns are relying on second-year defensive tackle Mason Graham as they prepare for their first preseason game. 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. The team also anticipates the return of Mike Hall Jr. and Maliek Collins, which could enhance their defensive line depth.
