Browns Add Linebacker Justin Jefferson

0:00On April 25, Cleveland Browns just scooped up linebacker Justin Jefferson with a 149-pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. This Alabama product brings serious college tape after three seasons and 41 games under his belt. Jefferson stacked up 149 tackles, 13 tackles for loss, 5 sacks, 1 pick, 6 passes, not down, and 3 forced. Fumbles, solid production from a guy ready to contribute right away. He's sliding into a linebacker group that added Quincy Williams during free agency. That unit already packs punch with depth from Eastern Masterinus, Arnold, Edith Yuan, Ulofoshio, and Nathaniel Watson. Leading the charge is defensive rookie of the year, Carson Schwessinger, who topped the team with 146 tackles, two interceptions, two, and a half sacks, and 11 tackles for loss last season. Fans are stacking that front 7 deeper now, setting up for a nasty defense as they gear up for next year.
