5 Outsider Candidates to Watch During Browns Training Camp

Rookies report to training camp on Monday, with veterans following on Tuesday. Once everyone is at The Greenbrier in West Virginia, practices begin on Wednesday, July 24.

For returning players, the next few weeks will be about shaking off the rust and getting back to work. For some new faces, this is their chance to impress and earn a spot on the 53-man roster.

That said, here are four outsider candidates who could secure a spot

Ahmarean Brown had a promising start to his collegiate career, rushing for 396 yards and seven touchdowns on 21 receptions for Georgia Tech. He then regressed, and after two years with the Yellow Jackets and three at South Carolina, he had 1,136 yards and nine touchdowns on 92 catches.

He’s still an intriguing prospect who said in an interview with Noah Weiskopf of The OBR that he ran a 4.28 in the 40-yard dash while preparing for his pro day. He officially ran a 4.31, which disappointed him.

The speedster knows it takes more than that to make this team — and understands that being 5-foot-9 and 165 pounds won’t help him — so he’s eager to get started and try his luck as a returner.

“A man of my size has to be able to do more than one thing to stay on the field,” Brown told Noah Weiskopf of The OBR“I’m here for the team, I’m here to help us in any way I can and I’m definitely looking forward to getting back.”

Brown didn’t return the ball much during his NCAA tenure, but if he can be a weapon on special teams, he might just be able to make the team tick.
