The Cleveland Browns have built a solid team filled with some talented individuals. It is now up to them to bring home some victories.

The Cleveland Browns enter the 2017 season with a roster to be excited about. Whether that results in wins is yet to be seen.

This Browns team is young, but big-name players like Jamie Collins, Joe Thomas, Kevin Zeitler and Myles Garrett make the Browns a team to watch in 2017.

Without a dominant player at quarterback, this roster is filled with important players at other positions. Players like Thomas and Zeitler help anchor the offensive line, while Collins serves as one of the top voices on defense.

With so many young players, the veteran voices will remain important throughout the year. And with all the money invested in the big-name players, fans will expect some success from the veterans on the field.

We take a look at that and more in today’s edition of the Daily Dawg Tags.
