The Cleveland Browns continued adding to their defense when they recently signed former Colts linebacker Anthony Walker.

Walker has been productive on the field in nearly averaging over 100 tackles the past 3 seasons.

However, his biggest impact could come in the locker room according to former teammate Darius Leonard.

Leonard described the type of player the Browns were getting when he was asked by a fan on social media.

Amazing player man, he does everything the right way! It sucks that he’s leaving but Cleveland is gaining a Dawg! He’s a great leader and he’s going to lead your defense to be great! I will truly miss him! I give him a lot of credit for my success! I wouldn’t be me without him!

Later on, Leonard posted a tribute video for Walker.

The video is an amazing tribute that highlights all the qualities that the Browns would want in a player and a person.

While so much is usually focused on NFL players from a production standpoint, the video allows you to see the type of leader the Browns are adding to their unit.

By all accounts, it looks like the Browns got a good one with Walker.

Walker is known as a very intelligent player that helped his teammates to be better.

A player like Darius Leonard has helped Walker to achieve new heights in his career.

Walker joins a young linebacker group in Mack Wilson, Sione Talkitaki, and Jacob Phillips.

The Browns also recently re-signed Malcom Smith on a one-year deal.
