Alabama DB Brian Branch wants to make bigger impact while blitzing

Brian Branch wants to continue becoming a more effective pass-rusher after having some success getting after Mississippi State’s quarterback, Will Rogers.

Branch was called upon to get after the quarterback consistently during the Crimson Tide’s win over the Bulldogs Saturday. He recorded 12 Pass Rush Snaps, beating out his previous high of nine, according to Pro Football Focus. He finished the game with two quarterback hurries, one sack and one quarterback hit.

The Georgia native said he has been working on hiding when he is about to go after the quarterback.

“I been working on disguising them because a lot of times the quarterbacks will kind of point me out and it would be like they already know I’m coming,” Branch said.
