One of the standouts from the Seattle Seahawks’ preseason has been cornerback Tre Brown. Entering into his fourth year, Brown showed the 12th Man last year what he could do when playing healthy. Now, he is going to show fans what he is like with a little more muscle.
Brown has gained weight this offseason, and he took to the media to elaborate further.
“I feel good,” Brown exclaimed quickly. “I’m at 195 lb., it’s kind of heavy for me, you know I’m usually at like 189 lb. but 195 is a really good weight for me. I can still run at that weight, so I feel pretty good.”
When asked about why he gained the weight, Brown responded with “I just wanted to play bigger, see what that does for me. It’s been doing well for me.”
Brown went on to say how his weight gain has helped him particularly in the run defense, shedding blocks against the likes of DK Metcalf or Laviska Shenault. To get off those blocks and set the edges will go a long ways to helping shore up Seattle’s porous run defense from the last few years.
