The Northwestern product Greg Newsome II was drafted by the Cleveland Browns in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft. He was a highly touted cornerback coming out of college and fell into the lap of the Browns in the late first round.

Newsome has gotten a lot of playing time during his first two seasons in Cleveland. He is due for a breakout year as he enters his third year in the league in 2023.

The talented cornerback hasn’t exploded so far with the Browns but has shown some promising flashes in his first two seasons. He has registered 79 total tackles and 0.5 sacks in the 27 games he played so far. Newsome is yet to register an interception.

Newsome has now found his role in the Browns’ secondary unit and recently claimed that he wouldn’t play at the slot in the 2023 season. The six-foot cornerback is set to play predominantly in the outside cornerback position, where he feels more comfortable.

The Browns are looking to win a Super Bowl under the leadership of the controversial QB Deshaun Watson, but the Cleveland-based franchise needs to improve a lot in their defense to achieve that. If Newsome can find his rhythm in the upcoming season, he would be a great asset for the Browns’ defensive unit, which struggled a lot last year.
