The Dallas Cowboys picked up a cornerback they’re hoping can elevate their pass defense to another level.
With the 189th pick of the 2016 NFL Draft, the Cowboys plucked Purdue’s Anthony Brown.
Although the Boilmakers had one of the worst pass defenses in college football last season, Brown was the high point for them. He recorded four interceptions and six pass breakups.
Brown is a durable CB and strong tackler, as well. During the 2014-2015 season, Brown racked up 110 tackles by throwing his body into plays.
When you combine Brown physicality and athleticism, he has the potential to be a competitive reserve corner in the NFL.
To be successful in the pros, Brown will need to use his 5’11 frame to his advantage and work on his aggressiveness.
