NFL Draft - INDIANAPOLIS—Illinois safety Sydney Brown is an excellent prospect whose journey to the NFL is an inspiring story of perseverance.
In the fine Walkthrough combine notebook tradition, however, we lead not with Brown's NFL prospects, nor his journey, but with Brown's response to a standard podium-interview question about what sports he played a child.
"We grew up fighting, boxing, some MMA, wrestling, along with track … and we did some figure skating here and there."
Brown and his twin brother, Illinois running back Chase Brown (also here at the combine), grew up in Ontario.
