old-school thumper, not a current Louisville Cardinals linebacker
In the 2010–2013 seasons, Preston Brown was a durable, instinctive Louisville linebacker who piled up 301 career tackles, 7 sacks, and 26 tackles for loss, with reports praising his run-stuffing power, quick diagnosis, and leadership as the defense’s “quarterback.”[12][5][6] He was viewed as more of an early-down enforcer than a matchup-heavy coverage linebacker, so he fits a team that wants physicality, communication, and steady tackling over sideline-to-sideline flash.[15][5]
