2025 Fantasy Outlook
Schwesinger was a slightly surprising pick at 33rd overall by the Browns, who had several needs on offense. It turns out a neck injury to standout linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah will force him to miss 2025 and possibly end his career. Hence, the need to upgrade the position. Schwesinger plays with a high motor and is in constant chase mode. In his first season as a starter for UCLA in 2024, he led all FBS with 90 solo tackles (136 overall). Schwesinger is expected to step into Owusu-Koramoah's spot at weakside linebacker and should immediately have a significant impact in IDP leagues. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year, $11.8 million contract with the Browns in May of 2025.
Eight tackles in NFL debut
Schwesinger logged eight tackles (three solo) during the Browns' 17-16 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Schwesinger was all over the field in his NFL regular-season debut, finishing as the Browns' leading tackler while playing all 52 defensive snaps. His last tackle on Chase Brown late in the fourth quarter resulted in a five-yard loss that led to the Bengals punting the ball away two plays later. Schwesinger was the Browns' second-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, and the UCLA product figures to see a heavy workload in his first season.
