In an effort to add experienced depth along the offensive line, the New York Jets have signed former New Orleans Saints second-round choice Charles Brown following a minicamp tryout earlier this week.
Brown, a 6′ 5”, 300 lb California native spent his college career at USC where he was originally recruited to play tight end before being moved to offensive tackle during his freshman year.
Considered one of the top tackle prospects in the 2010 draft, Brown went to the Saints with the 64th overall selection but struggled to earn a staring spot until 2013 when he started 14 games while surrendering seven sacks.
