Gotta Watch The Tape is back this week and it's time to dive into the Browns draft picks. On this episode, Doug Lesmerises, Scott Patsko and Ellis Williams dive into first-round draft pick Greg Newsome and show with numbers and film why the cornerback from Northwestern fits what the Browns want to do.
To lead off the pod, Scott looks at the numbers that show how Newsome thrives in zone coverage, which matches what defensive coordinator Joe Woods wants from his corners, and Scott explains how often first-round corners hit and miss as players.
Then Ellis talks through seven plays from Newsome that show his ability to break on the ball, to smoothly recover in the middle of a play, and how quickly he reads what's happening and reacts in order to cover areas of the field and make life hard for opposing quarterbacks.
