Just a little over a year ago, the Cowboys drafted Anthony Brown in the sixth-round at pick 189, a seemingly athletic but struggling cornerback from Purdue. Was it Brown that was struggling or was it the Boilermakers, who together made up one of college football's worst pass defenses? In 12 games, Purdue's pass defense gave up 245 completions on 393 pass attempts for a 62.1 completion percentage. They also gave 24 passing touchdowns, 7.4 yards per clip, over 240 passing yards per game, and a disgusting 138.8 opposing passer rating.
Again, that couldn't possibly all fall on Brown who intercepted four passes, broke up six others (giving him 19 as a starter).
