Darian Stewart, S, Tampa Bay Buccanneers

Time with Joe Woods: Denver Broncos (2015-18)

2019 Stats: 13 games played (one start), nine tackles, one pass deflection

So remember that help at safety the Browns need?

It isn’t just the starters…

With youngsters Sheldrick Redwine, J.T. Hassell and Montrell Meander on the roster, the team lacks the depth that had been exposed in the 2019 season.

In comes veteran Darian Stewart. Is he the complete answer? No, but with a position that is very young and dealing with a new system, someone like Stewart can be relied upon as a cheap, guiding voice for some of these players. Stewart shouldn’t be looked at as a starter but can be useful as a rotational piece for Woods.

Players like Stewart always have a role in a locker room like the Browns, which is in transition once again.
