#25: Jack Swagger – Jason Pinkston – Swagger is a 2 time All American. Swagger is a strong, athletic wrestler who has struggled to put it together and take control of his future. Pinkston, due to injuries and inconsistencies, has also struggled to find his role on the team. Pinkston, the college tackle, could easily return and battle for a guard spot this year, or be looking for his future home with no one missing him. He and Swagger could see the same fate this year.
#24: Kofi Kingston – Dion Lewis – Kingston is a high flyer that excites the fans and makes dramatic moves look easy. Yet Kingston has had his golden opportunities slip through his fingers due to injuries. Lewis was set to be a big part of the Browns offense last year until a broken leg derailed him.
#23: Dolph Ziggler – Chris Ogbonnaya – The pros pro, Ziggler has had some huge pushes and moments in the WWE and then does little to nothing for months. Ogbonnaya has similar streaks, but for him it often is in games. He will break off a 30 yard run or reception then have no other positive yardage plays all game. Both serve an important role but neither is a long term impact player.
#22: Kevin Nash – Mitchell Schwartz – The world knows Kevin Nash from his days in the NWO. He of his long hair, tattoos and allegiance with Hulk Hogan and Scott Hall. Now Nash is retired and a one hit wonder. While Schwartz is young his one hit may have been being drafted in the 2nd round. Since then there has not been a lot to call home about. Similar to Nash currently, Schwartz could find himself irrelevant soon.
#21: The Great Khali – Billy Winn- Khali is a huge monster in the WWE filled with huge monsters. He plays his role well but wouldn’t be missed with all of the other large starts in wrestling. Winn is similar as he is a big man on a Browns front 7 that has a bunch of starts who make greater impacts. While both Khali and Winn could make bigger impacts elsewhere, in their current places they are bit role players.
