Panthers’ OC Thomas Brown ‘runs from comfort’ and wants his players to follow his lead

Thomas Brown could have stayed in Los Angeles where he was comfortable but that is not how the Carolina Panthers’ new offensive coordinator is wired.

“I’m always trying to run from comfort. I think it’s easy to sit in my comfort zone and do what I’ve always done. But I’ve always sought growth,” Brown said at his introductory press conference on Thursday. “And, unfortunately, growth and comfort don’t exist in the same place.”

Brown joins head coach Frank Reich’s staff after three seasons with the Los Angeles Rams. There, he was promoted each year and won Super Bowl LVI. It only takes a couple of minutes to understand why Brown, 36, is regarded as a commanding leader with an NFL head-coaching future.
