We take a look at the five best opposing quarterbacks the Cleveland Browns will go up against during the 2017 NFL season.

Another season gone by and another offseason question mark at the quarterback position, and unfortunately for the Cleveland Browns, they’ll face a plethora of teams that don’t have to worry about that.

The return of players like Emmanuel Ogbah, Joe Haden, Jamie Collins and Christian Kirksey, as well as new additions in Myles Garrett, Jabrill Peppers, Larry Ogunjobi, Caleb Brantley, the eventual return of Howard Wilson and Calvin Pryor, who was picked up in a trade, should help a Browns defense ranked 31st overall a year ago. Putting these players together has the look of a much better looking defense from the outside looking in.

Against the pass, the team was slightly better having given up about 249.8 pass yards per game, good enough for 21st overall in 2016. While not spectacular, the defense appears ready to take a step forward and potentially be among the league’s best.

However, as we all know a team lives and dies by the quarterback, and that philosophy applies to the defense as well. With that being said, lets take a look at the five quarterbacks who will give the Browns the most trouble.
