"He had had an official visit with them before the '23 draft. He also looked huge/ripped during Friday's minicamp," noted Matt Barrows of The Athletic.
Brown registered 32 tackles, including six for a loss, four sacks, a pass defensed, and a forced fumble through 13 games during his last collegiate season in 2022, per Sports Reference. Throughout his three seasons with the Trojans, he recorded 59 tackles, including eight for a loss, 4.5 sacks, a pass defensed, and a forced fumble.
Before attending Troy University, the defensive lineman spent time at Itawamba Community College and Highlands Community College.
Brown (6-3, 295) entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent with the Tennessee Titans last year. He landed on injured reserve on August 14, 2023, due to an ankle injury sustained in a preseason game. The Titans waived Brown on May 7.
