Stevie Brown Debut

Didn't get a chance to watch.. was it a nice pick or a terrible pass?
Always good to see former Wolverines do well in the NFL.. but for Stevie I'd much rather be watching him playing in the Maize and Blue for one more year.

it wasnt really anything special there was 4 seconds left in the game and cowboys threw up a deep ball to the endzone and he picked it off for a touch back to end it.
but none the less its good for him. maybe turns some heads.

Nice to see the good stretching fundamentals he has learned have kept him limber enough to make INT's in the NFL. Hope he makes the cut.

for UM players in the NFL today. Mesko kicked the crap out of the ball, a couple popped up in the Carolina game, Arrington looked really solid for the Saints, Stevie doing his thing, Brady looking... Brady'ish. very solid day of former winged helmets

Stevie is going to be a special teams phenom, at the very least with his athletic ability.

Agreed. I think with his athleticism, he could make a nice career for himself as a special teamer and occasionally helping out at safety. While his reads weren't always great, Stevie is certainly a gifted athlete, which I think can help him a lot at this level.

Probably should have knocked it down, but ok. Here's the link (couldn't embed)

Personally I agree with the good doctor above me, Brown is going to be one of the best special teams players in the league. Not sure how he will end up at safety but hopefully he learned something about taking good angles last year and can make it work.

thanks for the link. i couldnt find a video of it. so good work.

he was playing as a SS I'm assuming?
August 13th, 2010 at 9:16 AM ^
I'm always happy to hear about our guys doing well at the next level.

"It seems like every day, every other day, he seems to show up, putting his hands on the ball somewhere," coach Tom Cable said.

For one of the most derided players that I can remember, he certainly has turned it around. Last season probably helped him relax where he didn't have as much responsibility and just let him play. Imagine if he could have played that position all 4 years? He had a good senior year and I hope he has a long NFL career. Will be a special teams monster at the least.

Nice to see Stevie having a chance in the pros. The more you watch him, the more you realize how he was just miscast at UM in a defense that was in disarray. Wish him the best.
I also remember, before last year started, that Mel Kiper said something about how Stevie Brown coudl be drafted and everyone basically scoffed. Maybe the Hair knew something we didn't.

Stevie Brown is my favorite "redemption story" at UM. He had his bad plays at Michigan, but he worked his ass off, made the best of a bad situation, handled himself with class, and richly deserves any success he gets.

glad he played well...mad I missed it but i'm getting to watch Brandon Graham play now for the Eagles
