Last season, Browns linebacker Carson Schwesinger became the first player drafted outside the first round to win Defensive Rookie of the Year since linebacker Shaquille Leonard did it in 2018.
Over the past 20 years, that has only happened three times, with Texans coach DeMeco Ryans the other, having won it as a linebacker for Houston in 2006. As the 33rd pick, he was the first player selected in the second round.
