The Carolina Panthers draft team picked a good one in defensive tackle Derrick Brown. The standout prospect was the organization’s choice at No. 7 in the first round following a hugely impactful college career.

A first-round selection with enormous potential, Brown attributes a lot of his success to Tigers’ defensive line coach Rodney Garner, who has been responsible for bringing a wealth of talent through to the pros.

This includes former Panthers pass-rusher Charles Johnson and Brown is thrilled hs gets to add his name to an illustrious list of student-athletes to make the next level under Garner.
