With a new regime in for the Cleveland Browns, analytics is now more focused than ever. Let’s take a look at the analytic data of the Browns safetys

A new NFL season is slowly approaching, and the Cleveland Browns are poised to bring the city of Cleveland its first winning season since 2007. With last year’s disappointing performance behind them, the Browns made some improvements on both sides of the ball with free agency and the recent draft.

The team looks as good on paper as any other team in the NFL. The only question is — will this new coaching staff and front office be able to bring success to this organization who is desperate for a winner?

A new general manager in Andrew Berry hopes to bring an analytical approach to the game in the front office while new head coach Kevin Stefanski brings in new schemes on both sides of the ball. These two showed synergy during free agency and the draft process and if it continues, we should expect some success on the football field come game day.

Keeping in tradition with the new “nerdy” front office built on analytics, let’s take an analytical look at each of the Browns positions to take a more in-depth look to see how successful these players were last season and make predictions on success for this next season as well as suggestions on where there need to be improvements. This will range each position on the team with the exception of kickers and punters.

We will take a look this time at the Safety room of the Browns. With a lot of new faces, who will be seeing a lot of field time, and who will be depth and help develop these young players?
