DT Larry Ogunjobi

Larry Ogunjobi was a former third round pick of the Browns back in 2017, the last draft that former general manager Sashi Brown headed up. On that staff, however, was current GM Andrew Berry. Entering the last year of his deal, Ogunjobi is out to prove he deserves a second contract with the Browns beyond 2020.

This, however, is not a given.

There is no way around it, Ogunjobi was putrid for the brown and orange in 2019, constantly getting blown off the ball and out of rush lanes. He struggled to take on double-teams like he was originally drafted to do, and did not generate much juice as a pass rusher either.

There were many times when it felt like former defensive coordinator Steve Wilks was playing his men out of position, or trying to force a round peg into the square hole that was his defensive scheme. Ogunjobi was one of those players.

With Joe Woods taking over the defense, a coordinator who likes to play press man and get after the quarterback (the complete antithesis of Wilks), Ogunjobi has a great situation to prove that he belongs with the Browns long term. In a rotation with Sheldon Richardson, free agent addition Andrew Billings, and third rounder Jordan Elliott, Ogunjobi needs to separate himself from a crowded room.
