Here's what Browns fans need to know about Schwesinger in our instant analysis of the pick.Carson Schwesinger scouting reportSchwesinger comes out of a 3-3-5 system at UCLA in his one season as a starter. He played the middle (Mike) linebacker position in that scheme.
However, Schwesinger does possess exactly what you want in a linebacker in an attacking scherme. He has fast feet, aggressive attitude and is a sound tackler.How Carson Schwesinger fits with BrownsSchwesinger fits perfectly for the Browns in that he fills a massive need for them at a position that can often be overlooked.
Cleveland, though, can't afford to overlook the position as questions remain about the health of linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, who's recovering from a October neck injury. Behind Owusu-Koramoah, the rest of the linebacker corps is led by veteran Jordan Hicks, who's on the final year of his deal, as well as a group of relatively young players like Mohamoud Diabate and Winston Reid.Carson Schwesinger statsSchwesinger measured 6-foot-2, 242 pounds at the NFL combine.
In 38 career games, with 10 starts, he had 163 tackles, 11 tackles for loss, five sacks, one forced fumble, two interceptions and three passes defensed.Carson Schwesinger highlightsHere's a look at some of Carson Schwesinger's highlights from his final season at UCLA:Chris Easterling can be reached at [email protected].
