INDIANAPOLIS — Free agent linebacker Preston Brown has a hint of Patriots envy.
Quite frankly, it’s hard to blame him.
The NFL’s reigning tackles leader has watched former Bills teammates stampede out of Buffalo and turn into stars with the Patriots. It wasn’t easy to process, but now that Brown has a similar opportunity on the open market, he can’t help but think about the possibility.
“It’s a little weird,” Brown said of his ex-teammates thriving for their AFC East rivals. “I’m not going to sit here and lie like, ‘Oh well.’ You’re happy for them, but you’re also like, all right, every time somebody goes to the Patriots, they’re going to the Pro Bowl or the Super Bowl.
