Saw him mocked to Eagles first round, nice money. Can Brown, also Lackawana (SP) transfer replace Brisker at the same production level, I believe Brown might be a tad smaller, don't know about speed. Need some analysis and hope for next year.
Good for Brisker. Hope he goes early in the draft.
Really glad to see Ji'Ayir Brown return -- a PSU Def. Back who actually makes Interceptions!
Nice piece on Brown:
Ji'Ayir Brown's Personal Bet Pays Off
Penn State's newest defensive star believed in himself when no one else did. 'I never let the faith go,' Brown says.
Four years, a junior college and six Penn State interceptions later, Brown will enter the 2022 season as one of the Big Ten's top safeties. He announced in December that he would return for his final season of college eligibility, establishing a secondary anchor with cornerback Joey Porter Jr. that the Lions desperately need.
Penn State coach James Franklin continued expressing his gratitude after the Outback Bowl, in which Brown's two interceptions were a highlight of the team's 24-10 loss.
"He is a football player," Franklin said. "Loves, loves to play the game."
No kidding, Roy. Brisker just knows where to be on the football field to make plays. Love the kid, and hope he excels in the pros.
