Six Browns to Watch in the 2017 Season

4.) DE Emmanuel Ogbah

A lot of focus on the defense this season is going to be on the new number one overall pick Myles Garrett. I am going to be looking closely at the opposite side in Emmanuel Ogbah.

The Browns were tied for the second fewest sacks last season with 26 and Ogbah led the team with just 5.5 sacks. With Gregg Williams taking over the defensive coordinator duties and the defense switching to a 4-3 base, Ogbah will go back to a more natural position of defensive end with his hand in the dirt.

With teams focusing on Myles Garrett at the other end, Ogbah can be in line for a breakout season. With Garrett missing the first month of the season with a high ankle sprain, Ogbah needs to lead this unit. Cleveland got absolutely no pass rush against Big Ben on Sunday.

For the Browns to win games, they are going to need some pressure and Ogbah must grow in his second season. I believe he can and will lead the team in sacks for the second straight season.
