Cameron Brown

The Bills will likely be looking to add a new linebacker this offseason with the retirement of Lorenzo Alexander. While this isn’t a pressing need, they could find a player like Cameron Brown in the middle rounds that could play as a rookie.

Brown has a similar build to Matt Milano, as both are a bit undersized but incredibly athletic and have the ability to get sideline to sideline.

As Kyle Crabbs of The Draft Network notes in his scouting report, the Nittany Lions moved Brown all over the field and at times even lined him up against slot receivers. While, Brown likely doesn’t have the athleticism to match up against receivers in the NFL, this versatility is something the coaching staff loves.
