Brown was a player the Patriots reportedly interviewed at the scouting combine, with the 6’2″, 319lb lineman giving them another big body inside to hopefully continue the process of rebuilding the defensive line following the loss of Vince Wilfork this past offseason.
He’s a player who has played a variety of positions up front during his time at Texas, and Bill Belichick praised Brown for his versatility during his post-draft press conference late Thursday night.
He’s a guy that’s played inside, on the nose, all the way outside to the five-technique, kind of everywhere in between,” Belichick told reporters after taking Brown.
