Lightly recruited in high school, Cody Brown confident in pros

Rookie linebacker Cody Brown takes part in sprints during an organized team activity earlier this offseason.

Cody Brown just wanted to get to college. That was it.

He wasn’t highly recruited coming out of Fort Lauderdale. Florida is rich with high school football talent; there’s a reason Miami, Florida, Florida State and even Central Florida are usually well-stocked with homegrown players. At that point in Brown’s life, though, he wasn’t one of those college targets.

Eastern Michigan looked at him. He had “a couple of (recruiting) letters.” But when the University of Connecticut called, it was good enough for the undersized defensive end with potential.

Getting to the NFL? “It wasn’t a big dream,” Brown said.
