The combination of speed, agility and overall range of Kamerion Wimbley should make the former FSU Seminole a great investment for the Cleveland Browns.
Although he played defensive end in college, Wimbley was used as a hybrid player in the Browns 3-4 defense last year and he contributed 44 tackles and 11 sacks while playing in all 16 games. Due to his speed off the edge, the Browns did a nice job using him in pass rushing situations not only in coverage, but also on blitzes. In fact, his sack total of 11 was not only a team high, but the most of any rookie defender in the AFC.
Wimbley's stats took a dive in his second season - he only finished with 51 tackles and five sacks in 2007 compared to the 62 tackles and 11 sacks he had his rookie year - but that doesn't mean he was less productive. Largely used as a pass-rusher during his rookie year, Wimbley took on more of a full-time role in the Browns' defensive and will probably have a starting job locked up heading into his third season.
