Much has been made about Derrick Brown’s play on the field. The Carolina Panthers’ first-round selection in the 2020 NFL Draft has a real chip on his shoulder about what analysts said about him during the evaluation process.
The formidable defensive tackle out of Auburn may not have stuffed the stat sheet in college. But that should not detract from what an outstanding prospect he is.
Brown was double-teamed on almost every down and still managed to put up good numbers. He has a Pro Bowl ceiling and has the potential to wreak havoc alongside veteran Kawann Short in the Panthers’ new 4-3 base defense.
