2022 Cleveland Browns Sack Leader: Myles Garrett

The former No. 1 draft pick from 2017 was dominating a year ago finishing with a Browns all-time best 16 sacks in a season. I look for Garrett to do the same this season. Can he close in on last year’s NFL season leader in T.J. Watt who had 22.5 a year ago?

2022 Cleveland Browns Tackles Leader: Jeremiah Owusu-Koromoah

The 2021 NFL draft third pick out of Notre Dame had a solid rookie campaign and was quickly recognized for his impressive production for the team. He finished with 76 total tackles and forced two fumbles.

Last year, veteran linebacker Anthony Walker led the team with 113 tackles. I look to see JOK overtake Walker in this category this next season.

2022 Cleveland Browns Interceptions Leader: Denzel Ward

Last season, both Denzel Ward and safety John Johnson III had three interceptions to lead the team in that department. Johnson had another season when he played for the Los Angeles Rams where he picked off four passes. Wards had three interceptions in two different seasons.

This will be Ward’s season to shine and will lead the team this season in interceptions. My best guess is he’ll end up with at least five picks.
