Carolina Panthers DL Derrick Brown has 'leaned out' - in the words of head coach Matt Rhule - and focused on eating healthier this offseason, which has led to him showing up to voluntary workouts around 320 pounds - down from the 330-plus pounds he carried at times last season.'He's really stepped up in terms of his progress and development this offseason. He came here to OTAs in shape. He worked out here for a long time. Has made a lot of great changes to his diet. I can't tell you what they are. He just looks good. He's leaned out.

Jaguars | Derrick Brown atop Jags' draft board? Sun Feb 16, 09:37 PM
Auburn DT Derrick Brown 'should be at the top' of the Jacksonville Jaguars' draft board to address a run defense that ranked 28th in the NFL in 2019, in the opinion of John Reid of The Florida Times-Union.
| Footballguys view: The Jaguars have the No.9 overall pick in the 2020 NFL draft. There's a chance that Brown will not be available by the time that pick comes up. Brown has a rare combination of size and strength that makes him a disruptive force in the middle of the defensive line. He can step in and start from day one and Brown could one day (soon) be an All-Pro player. |
