In the two NFL preseason games Schwesinger played in, he recorded at least one tackle. Against the Panthers in Schwesinger's first taste of NFL action, it took him 13 plays to record six tackles. Then, against the Rams in the Browns' final preseason game, he notched a tackle and showcased his ability to get to the quarterback, getting a quarterback hit. Not only has he tracked down the quarterback and ball carrier, but, according to Schwartz, he led the Browns in interceptions during training camp as well.
Throughout every test he has been handed in his few months in the NFL, he has passed it and showcased why assistant head coach and special teams coordinator Bubba Ventrone thinks the Browns got a steal with the 33rd overall pick.
"It's a pretty unique situation to step in and take on such an impactful role as a rookie. I can't say enough good things about him," Ventrone said. "When we evaluated him, when I evaluated him, the first thing I saw on tape was his instinct. (He's) always around the football. Really good tackler, super smart, great kid, good communicator. He has leadership traits."
