Derrick Brown's Fifth-Year Option Picked Up By Panthers
2 years agoThe Carolina Panthers picked up defensive tackle Derrick Brown's fifth-year option on May 1. Brown, the No. 7 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, has shown improvement in each of his first three seasons. Last season, he set career highs in solo tackles, assists, pass defenses, and QB hits, and made his first interception. His ability to get his hands on passes has been valuable to IDP fantasy managers. He made seven pass defenses last season and has made 15 in his three-year career. The 24-year-old will be on the Panthers for at least two more seasons, and he will be moving to defensive end, where he could get to the quarterback more often, in the team's new 3-4 scheme.
