The Browns selected LB Carson Schwesinger with the 33rd overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
“You talk about a guy who was walk-on, and not only a walk-on, but really a one-year starter, started three games into the season and just took off,” Assistant General Manager and Vice President of Player Personnel Glenn Cook said. “And extremely productive, extremely smart, very versatile, kind of fits exactly the identity we want on defense.”
After redshirting as a walk-on in 2021, Schwesinger played three seasons for UCLA and appeared in 38 career games. He recorded 163 tackles, 12 tackles for loss, five sacks, two interceptions, three passes defensed and one forced fumble.
