anyone know who he is?

He's governor of the hopelessly debt-ridden state of California. :applause:

Jerry Brown is 6-4 265 and reportedly runs 4.65 for his forty. Brandon Peguese was cut to make room for him. He has played in Canada and Arena Football. He may be more than camp fodder.

[Red Zone Writing]

I'm pretty familiar with him. And I agree with atapcl in that he may be more than just camp fodder. I follow the Arena Football League closely, and he dominates there. Hopefully it will translate into good things with the Colts.

Here's an article I just wrote about him this morning:

[Luck2Fleener]

linebacker or d-line?

[mvbighead]

linebacker or d-line?

At the size listed, definitely 3-4 OLB or 4-3 DE. As we run a hybrid, I figure both are potential spots, but likely more LB than DE with Freeney and Mathis on the roster.

Nice. Thanks.

[Gavin]

I didnt follow him at Illinois or even follow Illinois

for that matter, if I had to guess I would camp body as well at best . do to his size he will probably have to convert to linebacker to have a shot to make the Colts and we have so much depth I would say he has no shot, I dont even think the Peguese cut has anything to do with this pick up, in my opinion Peguese was cut regardless at some point

[chad72]

Will we become the CFL and AFL haven for tryouts? Just kidding!!! :)

If we can get one grocery bagging Kurt Warner at any position, I will be happy!!! I can settle for a Cameron Wake type success too.

What team do you follow then

[atapcl]

linebacker or d-line?

He has LB speed. On Youtube it shows him leaping up to knock down a pass he intercepted himself. He also seems to be a good pass rusher so I would say a LB in a 3-4.

[Gavin]

What team do you follow then

No team in particular, I just love college football

[Malakai432]

Do it now, get to da choppa!!!!

[MTC]

Nothing about him that stands out. Nothing more than a practice squad player.

[Moncrief]

Urrybody has a favorite team even if their not all gung ho about them.

[weslo1812]

Umm he looks like he has some potentail. Seems to be able to at least get pressure on the QB. Makes some plays on the running back in the back field. Does need to work on disengaing his defender so he can actually make a play on the QB and sack him. He does seem to get his arms extended and bull rushh the offensive linemen backward a number of times which is good. But It mainly scrimmage film so Can get to excited overall but he could be a sleeper.

[RomanianColtsFan]

This from his time with another arena team, Jacksonville Sharks

Yeah, that blocked extra point in the Rush/Talons game was a killer.

I remember seeing that & just knowing that was gonna be the difference.

My nephew is the defensive coordinator for the Rush.

JB seems to have a high motor & is quite mobile.

I see him as an OLB as well but he may also get

a good amount of reps on ST.

This is shaping up to be a very exciting off season & I can't

wait to see my NEW & IMPROVED Colts team in action.

Wow, your nephew is Walt Housman?? That's cool! Small world!

[coltsfansince65]

Yup. He's a hard worker. Very intense. Lives & breathes football.

Have you done any articles involving the Rush?
