Everette Brown DE FSU

[The Link]

Some people feel he got a lot of his stats against scrub teams. For example 3 of his sacks came in the Clemson game.

qft.

Yeah, it seems this is Clemson angst towards a FSU player. lol

No, I'm not sold on him. That's all.

Does that make him look any less effective? I'm sure the scouts looked at more than just the Clemson game.

It was a dig at an unusually critical Clemson fan.

Still, Brown is certainlly not a sure thing.

Give this guy a year to bulk up and develop and he will look like a legit first round talent. Alot of teams passed on him because he's only 6'1-6'2 but this guy makes plays. I'd much rather have him, than some height-weight-speed guy that never does sh-- on the field.

[Delhommey]

The trick is he doesn't have any more room to "bulk up.". He's pretty rocked up as it is.

[R0CKnR0LLA]

True, he's never going to be huge just because of his height. I can see him adding 10-20 lbs though. He might always be somewhat undersized but I think he'll be a great player for us regardless.

He's around the same size as Charles Johnson who's 6'2" 270

Truth be told though, there are plenty of successful DEs in the league the same size as Brown.

Should be interesting at camp seeing him line up against Otah.

Both are each other's greatest weakness.

[Fox007]

You don't have to weigh a lot to be stronger than the opposition.

CJ is pretty damn strong and he isn't all that big(compared to some DE)

As long as he is strong enough, his speed and technique will get the job done.(hopefully)

It will be as simple as this. If Otah gets his hands on Brown, he's done. If Brown gets Otah moving side to side, he's done.

Our 1st rounder huh smh

He said Saturday became “the best day ever” when the Panthers' coach John Fox phoned to tell him they'd traded up with San Francisco to select him with the No.43 overall pick of the draft

“Obviously for me to put on the uniform and to be in a great situation here in Carolina, for me, is the best thing that could've happened,” he said.

Brown led the ACC with 131/2 sacks and 211/2 tackles for loss last season and is expected to make an immediate impact on the Panthers' pass rush. He'll be a leading contender to start at left defensive end opposite four-time Pro Bowler Julius Peppers, who plays the right side.

Brown is smaller (6-11/2, 256 pounds) than the prototype defensive end, but the Panthers love his first-step quickness and strength.

He said he likes the fact that new Carolina defensive coordinator Ron Meeks coached two undersized but highly productive defensive ends as Indianapolis Colts defensive coordinator – Dwight Freeney (6-1, 268) and Robert Mathis (6-2, 245).

“It's encouraging,” Brown said of playing for Meeks. “(When) coach Meeks (was) in Indianapolis, those guys really knew how to get after the passer. They weren't the biggest players. But one thing about it, when you turn on that film, they were 100 miles per hour, to the echo of the whistle.

“That's the way I played at Florida State and that's the way I'm going to continue to play. The bill coach Meeks wants me to fill is the best bill I could have walked into, the best situation for me.”

Brown said he had spoken by phone with team owner Jerry Richardson, who was home recovering from his early February heart transplant surgery.

“He wasn't available to be here today, but in the conversation, it was very optimistic,” said Brown.

“He told me when I come back for minicamp (this weekend) to stop by. He really wanted to have a sit-down conversation with me and just go over the whole program, where we're headed and what it's going to take to get there.”
