The Detroit Lions have signed Brown. Detroit made the move Monday after putting Jahvid Best on injured reserve.|||||||
The Lions released Brown in September when they claimed running back Keiland Williams off waivers from Washington.
Brown showed he has enough talent to make plays in the NFL with a 32-yard run for a touchdown and a 45-yard reception for a TD, helping Detroit beat the Atlanta Falcons in an exhibition game Saturday.|||||||
Two days after the game, coach Jim Schwartz was quick to put the breaks on the Brown-related hype. "Let's not put him in the Hall of Fame yet for what he did in the preseason," Schwartz said. "But he did show some speed, he showed some exciting ability, but long way to go." Brown's breakout game was flawed by three mental mistakes, each of which led to penalties. The Lions drafted Brown out of TCU in the sixth round.
