1. Linebacker, Karlos Dansby
I don’t care how old he is, find me a year when Karlos Dansby hasn’t been productive? This Browns team has built their identity around running the ball effectively, limiting turnovers, and playing elite defense.

If the Browns are the top five defense they present on paper, Dansby will get a whole lot of recognition for being in the middle of it.
He hasn’t finished with less than 90 combined tackles in a season since 2006, and with 41 career sacks, to go along with 16 interceptions, he does just about whatever is asked of him.
It amazes me, how he’s never been named to a Pro Bowl, especially in his 2013 season that featured 122 combined tackles, 6.5 sacks, four interceptions, and two touchdowns.
How much more productive can you be as an inside linebacker?
If Cleveland surprises, and becomes a legitimate playoff contender, Dansby’s name will elevate and get the respect it deserves. He’s my sneaky Browns potential Pro Bowler for 2015.
