Cowboys CB Anthony Brown: From Punctured Lung to Leader

FRISCO - The Dallas Cowboys prioritized cornerback atop the 2020 NFL Draft, and for all their celebration over selecting linebacker Micah Parsons in this year, truthfully were doing the same - prioritizing cornerback - atop the 2021 NFL Draft. Eventually, Dallas got there, taking a pair of corners on draft weekend.

All of whom now sit and learn as veteran Anthony Brown clings to the starting job.

"I definitely want to be a big brother to all the guys," says Brown, now entering his sixth NFL season and at 27 therefore the "old hand'' at the position. "I want them to look to me if they have any questions, if they have any concerns they want to talk about."

It's an ironic stance, because Brown helping last year's second-round pick, fellow starter Trevon Diggs, and because Brown helping this year's rookies (second-rounder Kelvin Joseph, third-rounder Nahshon Wright) might lead to him losing his spot.

But that is the nature of the gig.

We need some of our defensive players to step up

Be nice of he is one of them.

This defense desperately needs players like A Brown.

I hoping the energy of Wright and Joseph inspires guys like Brown and Lewis to step up their own game and be leaders.

I think it may....

I really like the mix of young and older up and down the roster.

If they can lose the entitlement deal, and I think the competition just may do that, they have a chance to be an effective unit....as a unit....defensively anyway.

 

[DCBoysfan]

I don't care who makes plays in the secondary, as long as they get made.

I always liked Anthony Brown, he is an underrated and under appreciated player from some fans perspectives. He is not great, but he is not a JAG either. He is a solid player, adds depth. And can step in and start if needed and not be a liability out there.

I thought he was a great resign when he became a FA. Kind of like an Isaac Holt type that came over from the Vikings in the Walker trade. Good enough to hold his own and contribute when needed. Also a bit of George Teague. Can play decent and solid. George is more remembered for his TO knock down more than his plays.

I like Brown. He’s underrated. Fans expect every CB to play like a #1 CB.

A better pass rush and guys like Brown will have much easier jobs.

You aren't kidding!

Veteran player, I expect him to be able to keep his starting job. None of these younger players are better than him at this point.
