Malcom Brown steps into leadership role among Patriots DTs

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Three leftovers of notes from interviews after the New England Patriots' organized team activity last week.

Terrance Knighton on the defensive tackle group: “Obviously [Alan] Branch is not here right now. When we get him back, we’ll have another leader. Malcom Brown has basically been leading the group. Being his second year, he’s probably the most experienced guy in there right now in terms of this team. I’m picking his brain to see how things are done around here. Me being the older guy in the group, I try to share some knowledge on things I know and things I’ve learned over the past.
