Jabaal Sheard

Jabaal Sheard is returning to Cleveland and will be in the face of quarterback Cody Kessler all day.  Sheard is clearly one of the Patriots best pass rushers and is looked upon as the one who got away in Cleveland.

The Patriots signed Sheard in free agency just two years ago and Browns offensive tackle Joe Thomas was quick to name Sheared when expressing his frustrations of players his team allowed to get away.

Guys that are really good players like that end up falling through the cracks or going to other teams, because any time a new staff comes in, basically they wipe out the middle class.”"

Sheard is one of a list of players who have made the journey to New England from Cleveland.  Last season, he finished second on the team with sacks and is on track to lead the team this year.  He also has a possible big pay day looming.  On Sunday, I expect Sheard to cause some havoc on passing downs.

Ironically, he may be going up against Thomas.
