Blace Brown, CB, Troy, 6-0, 184, 4.44*

More from SideLion Report

Brown has had a distinguished career including first-team all-Sun Belt Conference honors.

He has good speed but looks a bit thin on the field.

The one-time wide receiver converted to defense in his sophomore season and has eleven career interceptions while averaging 37 tackles per year.

Troy has played both zone and man cover techniques so it will be interesting to see how he does in man coverage all day.

It is truer if he gets matched up against Terry Godwin II (see next page) for any length of time.

Brown is the nephew of Georgia football and NFL legend Hershel Walker and is probably a Day 3 pick that could add depth to the Lions’ secondary.
