There’s a quiet dominance that lives at the center of the Carolina Panthers' defense — and it wears No. 95.
Derrick Brown doesn’t get the headlines of the game’s flashier edge rushers or highlight-generating corners. But make no mistake, the interior lineman is one of the most impactful defenders in football.
In fact, it’s fair to argue he’s the most underrated defensive player in the entire NFL.
Brown’s game doesn’t rely on splash plays or gaudy sack totals. His greatness lives in the margins — in the early-down trench battles that decide drives before the ball ever hits the perimeter.
