The Cleveland Browns seemed to knock it out of the park in the 2021 NFL draft with CB Greg Newsome II and LB Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah. Newsome gets a lot of attention as Denzel Ward’s bookend with the thought that he could see the Pro Bowl for the first time in his second year in the league.
Owusu-Koramoah is just as exciting of a prospect for the Browns. A player that was potentially the team’s selection in the first round, “JOK” fell to them in the second round and gave the team a one-two punch of defenders in one draft.
The Notre Dame product played in 14 games last year, starting 10. He had 76 tackles, four passes defended, four quarterback hits, three tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks. That well-rounded box score came after missing time early due to COVID-19 restrictions and missing time later due to a freak weight room accident.
