Did the New York Giants get a steal in 5th round linebacker Cam Brown?

At first glance, New York Giants’ fifth-round draft pick Cam Brown is a massive human. At 6-foot-5 and 232 pounds, Brown served as a linebacker for Penn State during his collegiate career.

The Giants clearly needed help at the position, given the ample draft capital they spent on retooling the depth at the linebacker position. Oddly, Brown only started two games with Penn State over his four seasons with the program, but he played in 51 of 52 games. In 2019, he set a career-high was 72 tackles, 5.5 for a loss, and two sacks. He also forced one fumble and recovered two.
