Brown is a journeyman safety who has followed Mike Vrabel from Tennessee to New England and used that familiarity to push for real playing time this season. He's been in and out of the lineup via practice-squad elevations, which tracks with a player fighting for a clear backup safety role rather than a locked-in starting job.
Strengths: Started games in Tennessee under Vrabel's staff and has the coaching familiarity to pick up New England's defensive scheme quickly.
Weaknesses: Still working from the practice squad up rather than holding a guaranteed roster spot, with his snaps dependent on elevations.
