Jatavis Brown

Jatavis Brown is a similar player to Campbell when it comes to his motor. He’s the type of player that can shed the first block and wrap up a runner. His stats compared to Campbell’s are eerily similar so if the Bills are out-priced on Campbell, grabbing a younger player in Brown is an option.

Before his injury, Brown was a human wrecking ball with a career 265 total tackles and 4.5 sack total. Just like the case with Campbell, the sack total would need to improve but with a coach in Frazier, the Bills can expect improvements.

His coverage skills are subpar; however, he would be more used as a rusher then dropping into coverage. Having Frazier as a coach might certainly help in his coverage skills as well. Brown isn’t a player that will break the bank for the Bills and he has the potential of a solid starter for the franchise.
