There are plenty of expectations for first-round pick Derrick Brown to make an instant impression with the Carolina Panthers. He would be wise to seek the counsel of a productive veteran to aid with the early stages of his development.
The No. 7 overall selection out of Auburn was picked ahead of Clemson linebacker Isaiah Simmons by the Panthers. This represented a huge vote of confidence in the defensive tackle and something he needs to start repaying at the earliest possible opportunity.
Brown is an incredible prospect who has that rare ability to eat up space on any given down.
