Under the Radar: Kourtnei Brown

One player that could have a role on this defense and finally find a home is DE/LB Kourtnei Brown. Brown has all the measurables with good size and speed plus brings versatility by being able to play defensive end or linebacker. Unfortunately for Brown it hasn't worked out so far as he has bounced around the league due to inconsistencies on the field. Brown came to the Bucs last season and didn't get much playing time but that could change under Mike Smith. With the Bucs wanting to be flexible in their scheme, Brown could really be a fit for this defense.

He has the speed off the edge as well drop back into coverage if necessary so just maybe he can finally stick on the roster this year and be a solid contributor. If he can be that rotational pass rusher along with playing good special teams, Brown could provide that depth that winning teams need. Especially with the Bucs wanting to bring a aggressive/attacking style defense which should help guys like Brown play more to their strengths which is to attack non-stop. Tons of competition along the defensive front so it wont be easy for Brown, but he is definitely someone to keep an eye on.
