veteran Cal inside linebacker with proven tackling chops
Gerran Brown is a physical inside linebacker whose best trait is simple: he tackles people for a living. In the 2017 season, he logged 61 tackles for California, ranking fourth on the team, while also adding 2.0 sacks, a pass breakup, and three quarterback hurries. Earlier in his career, he was praised for flashing in blitz packages and for being a reliable special-teams contributor. The fit is clear for a team that wants toughness, experience, and downhill urgency—less flash, more thump, with a reputation for playing smart and assertive football.
