Last Sunday was eventful for Pharaoh Brown. Not only did he catch a pair of passes for 71 yards and a touchdown in the New England Patriots’ 15-10 win over the New York Jets, he also saw his most extensive action this season — including a handful of snaps at a new position: fullback.
On six of 25 total downs, the big-bodied tight end lined up in the backfield to serve as a lead blocker. While the requirements for that role are different than what he is normally used to, Brown approaches both with the same mentality.
