It may be just voluntary OTAs but S Rodney McLeod is already showing what he can do for the Cleveland Browns. In the highlight play of the day by the defense, McLeod intercepted a pass off of backup QB Joshua Dobbs and returned it for a touchdown.
McLeod jumped in front of a pass that was heading toward TE Jordan Akins and made the interception. Yes, players are not going anywhere near full speed but McLeod still made a great read and jump to make the play.
A smart player at diagnosing things throughout his career, McLeod has 18 interceptions throughout his 11-year career. The veteran safety has had two or more interceptions in seven of his 11 seasons spent in the league.
McLeod tops off what should be a pretty good safety group for the Browns. Juan Thornhill has proven himself over the last couple of years with the Kansas City Chiefs and has a pair of Super Bowl rings to show for it. Grant Delpit really came into his own last year and has not scratched the surface of who he can be at his very best.
If the Browns can get after the quarterback like they hope to with their improved defensive line under DC Jim Schwartz, chances like this one that McLeod took full advantage of should come often.
