The Patriots run a multiple front defense with both 3-4 and 4-3 principles, often using gap-control schemes.
Immediate starter as a run-stopping interior lineman capable of playing multiple techniques, with a ceiling as a Pro Bowl caliber nose tackle.
An attacking one-gap 4-3 system that prioritizes quickness and pass rush over raw power and run defense.
Brown projects best as an immovable force in the middle, capable of clogging multiple gaps and freeing up linebackers.
Selected #32 overall in Round 1 of the 2015 NFL Draft by New England Patriots out of Texas.
