Having played in two Super Bowls and three AFC Championship game as a member of the Kansas City Chiefs, new Browns safety Juan Thornhll has seen up close and personal what kind of teams make it deep into the playoffs and he believes Cleveland has the right ingredients according to Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk.com.

Thornhill signed with the Browns as a free agent this week  and he said at his introductory press conference that he sees the makings of a successful team.  “All of the pieces are here,” Thornhill said, via the team’s website. “They’ve got a really good quarterback, receivers, the defense is super strong. I feel like all of the pieces are here and we have that capability of getting there and making a splash in the playoffs and making it to the Super Bowl.”

The Browns will have quarterback Deshaun Watson for a full season, a great running back in Nick Chubb,  and they added Thornhill, edge defender Obgo Okoronkwo, and defensive tackle Dalvin Tomlinson to a defense that will now be coordinated by another Super Bowl winner in Jim Schwartz. The hope is that the combination is able to prove Thornhill right about what they can accomplish on the field.
