2025 Fantasy Outlook
Schwesinger was a slightly surprising pick at 33rd overall by the Browns, who had several needs on offense. It turns out a neck injury to standout linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah will force him to miss 2025 and possibly end his career. Hence, the need to upgrade the position. Schwesinger plays with a high motor and is in constant chase mode. In his first season as a starter for UCLA in 2024, he led all FBS with 90 solo tackles (136 overall). Schwesinger is expected to step into Owusu-Koramoah's spot at weakside linebacker. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year contract with the Browns in May of 2025.
Primed for big role as rookie
Schwesinger called defensive plays in team drills on the first day of training camp, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Drafted 33rd overall this spring, Schwesinger is in an excellent position for a starting job after the Browns lost their top two linebackers from last year. The team ruled out Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah (neck) for all of 2025 in May, with Jordan Hicks then announcing his retirement Friday. Schwesinger, Jerome Baker, Mohamoud Diabate and Devin Bush are now the leading candidates to start at linebacker in Jim Schwartz's 4-3 defense.
