AFC Notes: Carson Schwesinger, Darnell Washington, Browns, Ravens, Steelers

Browns

New Browns DE Jared Verse was asked about having fellow Defensive Rookie of the Year LB Carson Schwesinger lining up behind him.

“Man, that boy can fly,” Verse said, via Pro Football Talk. “Nah, he can work. I like that a lot. I like knowing that behind me that I can . . . I don’t got much to worry about if something, you know, I can play freely because I don’t have to worry if something gets by me. He’s going to be able to handle that. He’s going to be able to clean everything up. So now that’s the exciting factor of it.”

Ravens

Ravens ST coach Anthony Levine praised DB Keondre Jackson‘s growth and said that his contributions on special teams have allowed him to carve out a meaningful role on the team.

“Last year, Keondre Jackson had a really good year,” Levine said, via Ravens Wire. “He started playing for us, came in making plays and was a key contributor for us. “My advice to him is to make sure that he’s being consistent because you have to do it day-in and day-out, year after year.”
