Deshaun Watson and 3 other players who fleeced the Browns in 2025

Based on the initial 53-man roster of each NFL roster this season, the Cleveland Browns ranked middle of the pack in average age per player, at 26.15 years old. A major factor was a Week 1 starting offensive line that featured four players on the wrong side of 30.

That really is an amazing stat, though, when you consider that the Browns deployed rookies at one of the highest rates in the league in 2025. Linebacker Carson Schwesinger and defensive tackle Mason Graham were lineup fixtures. In the second half of the season, the Browns often had Shedeur Sanders, Quinshon Judkins, Harold Fannin Jr.
