The Browns selected LB Carson Schwesinger with the 33rd choice in total to the NFL 2025 draft.
“You are talking about a guy who was on foot-and not only of a walk-on, but really a year old. Started three games in the season and took off,” said Glenn Cook, Deputy Managing Director and Vice-President of the Player Staff. “And extremely productive, extremely intelligent, very versatile, corresponds exactly to the identity we want in defense.”
After Redshirting as Walk-on in 2021, Schwesinger played three seasons for the UCLA and appeared in 38 career games. He recorded 163 plated, 12 plated for the loss, five bags, two interceptions, three defended passes and a forced escape.
Schwesinger joins a secondary room that consists of Jerome Baker, Devin Bush, Mohamoud Diabate, Marcus Haynes, Jordan Hicks, Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, Winston Reid and Nathaniel Watson. The Browns are also waiting for Owusu-Koramoah’s return from a neck injury he suffered during the 2024 season.
“What you get is a secondary that can do everything you need for defense,” said Schwesinger about his skills. “And I think it’s a place where I put. That you need a blanket, you need a stop in the race or go after the quarter. The three of those I think I could do at a high level and I am ready to go to work and contribute.”
