Get to Know the Cleveland Browns Roster
The Cleveland Browns have a very talented roster entering the 2023 season. QB Deshaun Watson, RB Nick Chubb, and WR Amari Cooper lead a group of impressive skill players on offense, while pro-bowlers DE Myles Garrett and CB Denzel Ward captain the defense.
2023 Cleveland Browns Manager and Head Coach
- General manager: Andrew Berry
- Head coach: Kevin Stefanski
- Coach record: 26-24 (.520)
General manager Andrew Berry and coach Kevin Stefanski were both hired into their current roles prior to the 2020 season and are entering their fourth season working in tandem. Berry and Stefanski led the Browns to the playoffs in their first season together; the Browns went 11-5 in 2020 and even won their first playoff game since 1994. Unfortunately, the last two seasons have not gone as smoothly; the Browns finished with an 8-9 record in 2021 and 7-10 record in 2022.
2023 Cleveland Browns Offense
QB Deshaun Watson will be playing his first full season with the Browns in 2023. Watson was suspended for the first 11 games in 2022 and made his debut with the Browns in Week 13. Watson's play was very underwhelming last season and needs to show great progress this year to be worthy of his huge contract. Watson has the 12th shortest odds at +3000 to win NFL MVP in 2023, per DraftKings Sportsbook.
RB Nick Chubb had a career high 1,525 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns in 2022, while WR Amari Cooper led the team with 1,160 receiving yards and nine receiving touchdowns.
Cleveland is entering the 2023 seasons with the same five starters on the offensive line as they did in 2022. The Browns offensive line earned a 77.4 PFF overall grade in 2022, which ranked tied for 10th best among all teams.
2023 Cleveland Browns Defense
Browns All-Pro edge rusher Myles Garrett is one of the biggest defensive stars in the NFL. Garrett leads the league with 44 sacks since 2020 and has the second best odds at +750 to win 2023 Defensive Player of the Year, behind only Cowboys' Micah Parsons (+600).
Garrett was the only player on Cleveland with more than three sacks last season. To give Garrett help, the Browns traded for edge rusher Za'Darius Smith from the Vikings this May. Smith has recorded 10+ sacks in three of the last four seasons.
The Browns defense earned a 61.2 PFF overall grade in 2022, which was the eighth-lowest defensive grade among all teams.
What to Expect this Season
Deshaun Watson's ability to get to his old playing form will ultimately determine the playoff and Browns' Super Bowl chances this upcoming season. He struggled mightily in his six games with the Browns in 2022, but he was one of the best QBs in the NFL from 2018-2020 with the Houston Texans before sitting out the entire 2021 season due to personal reasons.
The Browns have a talented enough roster to fight for a playoff spot in the stacked AFC, but it won't be easy. Unfortunately, it is hard to trust that this organization will be a true Super Bowl contender this year as they have not even made it past the divisional round of a postseason since 1989.
