While the AFC North may still be a run-oriented conference, the passing attacks of Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson are still forces to be reckoned with. The AFC as a whole is on another level with an elite list of quarterbacks for the 2022 season.

While Myles Garrett is the key to the defense, it is obvious that Cleveland’s front office values the secondary greatly.
