The Cleveland Browns are coming off their worst season since going 0-16. However, that largely came down to their awful quarterback play. The Browns have several talented players on their roster, and five were selected to Matt Holder's pre-season All-AFC North team.
On offense, Wyatt Teller and Joel Botonio were both named starting offensive linemen.
"There wasn't much to think about here," Holder writes. "Bitonio has been to seven straight Pro Bowls and made five All-Pro teams (two first-team, three second-team), and the rest of the left guards in the division leave something to be desired."
Holder adds that Teller made the team out of proven history, despite his sub-par 2024 season.
"This is more of a legacy pick since Teller battled injuries and wasn't as effective in 2024," Holder writes. "But there aren't a ton of quality options at right guard, and he's at least made a Pro Bowl as recently as 2023."
Unsurprisingly, Myles Garrett was named the starting edge rusher. Grant Delpit was named one of two safeties opposite Kyle Hamilton, and Denzel Ward was named one of the cornerbacks on the team along with Jalen Ramsey.
The Browns need to see their stars carry a roster that otherwise doesn't have a ton of high-end talent.
