Carolina drafted Brown in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft. Since then, he’s been a strong presence up the middle. He earned a trip to the Pro Bowl last season for his efforts after a terrific season. In 2020, he also was named to the PFWA All-Rookie team.

He won the Lott Trophy in 2019 at college at Auburn, where he also won the Southeastern Conference Defensive Player of the Year award.

To date, he has 245 total tackles, 8.0 sacks, 21 pass deflections, and two interceptions in his pro career. Last year, in 17 games played, he had 103 combined tackles, 57 solo, seven TFL, and 2.0 sacks.

Carolina looked terrible in Week 1 against the Saints. It hasn’t gone particularly well for the franchise over the past two seasons. Brown’s injury is another obstacle for them to overcome, as they’ll now be without one of their best players for an extended period of time.
