STRENGTHS
Outstanding size. Physical tackler. Steps downhilll and attacks the run with the proper shoulder. Good eyes and instincts. Delivers some pop on contact and strikes with force. Experienced three-year starter. Good football intelligence -- makes the calls and lines up a defense






Some good stuff.

Man, sure will be cool to have a Linebacker besides Burfict come in and hit a RB and send them backwards for once.

He seems to be a natural leader as well who could really help out our young guys get better.

Pretty awesome. Think we should really look to give this guy a long term contract.

Also, should be noted, Brown took a huge leap last year after taking a 10 pound reduction in diet by eating better. This is pretty awesome. 



Also, worth noting and TOOTING my own horn but my bench numbers are better than Burfit/Brown. TOOT TOOT. loool


Now my cones though...BOY, that'd be rough. 

Saw that about his diet on youtube. Looks like we got a top tier FA in their prime. Don't remember this happening.

We got Glenn, Preston and Baker all while they are still relatively young.
