The 2023 Cleveland Browns pass rush was a formidable force under Jim Schwartz, led by Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett. Then the team added even more talented pass rushers, signing veteran defensive tackle Quinton Jefferson and drafting the hyper-athletic Michael Hall Jr. out of Ohio State.
Za’Darius Smith had a great first season with the Browns, even though his sack numbers weren’t as impressive as his tape. Ultimately, he was second on the team in sacks last year, though Alex Wright and Ogbo Okoronkwo were right on his heels.
Okoronkwo has already made a bold prediction: He is shooting for double-digit sacks in 2024, something he could realistically do if he stays healthy. Could the rookie Hall make a run at second on the team in sacks? He will be a rotational pass rusher at first, but with all the talent around him, Hall has a real chance to make an impact and rack up the sacks.
So, if you had to make a prediction today, who do you think will be second on the team in sacks in 2024?
