The Cleveland Browns finally rounded out their coaching staff. Not many people saw them taking a chance on Atlanta Falcons defensive pass coordinator Mike Rutenberg, but he'll now take the reins from the departed Jim Schwartz.
Rutenberg has an extensive background in developing linebackers and defensive backs, leading some to speculate that his arrival could lead the Browns to take Ohio State star Caleb Downs with the sixth overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. The Browns have greater needs to address on offense first, so they might not want to use a first-round pick on a safety, as talented as Downs is.
