Duane Brown sees Germain Ifedi making the same breakthrough he once did

The more time Duane Brown spent with Germain Ifedi after being traded to the Seahawks last October, the more he realized he was looking at a younger version of himself.

Not that the two needed any introduction.

They’ve known each other for about a decade, dating to when Brown was drafted in the first round in 2008 by the Houston Texans, Ifedi’s hometown.

Ifedi is nine years younger, but was at the time a rising, young high school offensive lineman, and the two often crossed paths working out, which continued through Ifedi’s years at Texas A&M.
