3 Best Players on the Browns Under 25

It's taken much longer than most fans anticipated, but the Cleveland Browns have done a tremendous job at bolstering their roster in the NFL Draft in recent years. In fact, it wouldn't be far-fetched to say that they have the most compelling assortment of young talent in the league.

The Browns ooze dynamic players on both offense and defense, but who made the cutoff for being their very best under 25 years old? This trio earns that special distinction above all others.

The Browns' shocking shortcomings last season really overshadowed what was an exemplary campaign from cornerback Denzel Ward. Per Pro Football Focus, the former No. 4 overall pick held opposing quarterbacks to a 44.9 completion percentage when throwing his way. Folks, that was the best tally of any corner in the NFL. That's precisely why Ward's stats don't jump off the screen -- plenty of QBs just don't throw his way. He certainly needs to improve as a tackler, but the Ohio State product is one of the league's brightest young talents. That makes him a no-brainer inclusion on this list.

2. Nick Chubb

Cleveland certainly took a gamble by drafting Nick Chubb at No. 35 overall in 2018. The former Georgia star had serious concerns surrounding his gruesome past knee injury, but he's rewarded the Browns' faith since taking over the starting duties. Chubb is fresh off a breakout season in which he posted 1,494 rushing yards and eight touchdowns on 5.0 yards per carry. Expect the 24-year-old stud to take another monster leap in Year 3. He should already be considered as one of the NFL's best pound-for-pound running backs.

1. Myles Garrett

There was no other choice for the top spot on this list than Myles Garrett. At 24 years old, the former No. 1 overall pick is already regarded as one of the NFL's most feared pass rushers. In three seasons (37 games), Garrett's garnered 104 tackles, 30.5 sacks, 65 quarterback hits and six forced fumbles. You have to think that the Pro Bowler has just scratched the surface of his potential. So long as he keeps his emotions in check, Garrett will be a force up front for the next several years, and we wouldn't be surprised if he breaks a few records along the way.
