The last Fresno State football player off the practice field Wednesday, Stratton Brown stuck around catching passes from a machine.
This is unusual because Brown is the starting free safety. His primary job is to bat away passes, not catch them.
Turns out Brown was peeved at himself for dropping an interception. The extra drill was his self-imposed penance.
“I haven’t gotten a pick in forever,” Brown said. “Got to get on the Juggs. Can’t miss those opportunities.”
Brown picked a good time to get his hands honed since the Bulldogs are at a brief point in their schedule when they’re facing teams that don’t place “passing” somewhere between “looking tough in the team photo” and “making sure dirty laundry lands inside the hamper” on their list of priorities.
