Everything is pointing out that Cleveland Browns finally might see their share of good luck this season. After going 1-31 in the past two years, the Browns organization is looking to start winning football games in 2018 and build a winning culture once again. It seems like they are doing a good job so far, at least according to their linebacker Christian Kirksey.

Kirksey, who is entering his fifth season with the team, recently spoke with the NFL Network and said that this year the Browns have a “different feel,” compared to previous years he has been on the team.

Being one of the longest-tenured players on the team, I’ve seen the teams come through Cleveland,” – said Kirksey. “I’m going on to my second head coach, my third general manager, my third defensive coordinator, so I’ve seen players and front office people come in and out the building, and this is just a different feel.

Christian Kirksey went on to praise some of Browns’ newest acquisitions including quarterback Tyrod Taylor.

He’s our guy to take the field and finally have a competitive attitude on the offensive side of the ball,” – said Kirksey said of Taylor before adding: “Jarvis Landry, Josh Gordon, all those guys just have a swagger about themselves. In all my years I’ve never had that on the offensive side of the ball. Those guys are telling us, ‘We’re working today.‘”

Christian Kirksey was drafted by the Cleveland Browns in the third round of the 2014 NFL Draft. His stats include 430 total tackles, 11.5 sacks, four forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.
