Jaron Brown

Brown was a guy I honestly didn’t think would be around at this point.  After a 2015 season where he virtually disappeared, saving for one good game in Seattle, he was in competition with several other receivers that easily could have made the 53-man roster.

Brown though didn’t bat an eye.  From the time training camp starter, he was in full control of his destiny.  He made great catches in camp and made his presence known in the preseason games.

Brown ended up solidifying the number four receiver slot quickly and smoothly.  He beat out guys like Brittan Golden and Jaxon Shipley.  Early on some believed one of those two would be on the active roster and not Brown.

Now it is time for Brown to take to the field and show his talents on a consistent basis.  I believe he will do just that.  Look for him to put up career numbers in 2016.
