Auburn football: Fans react to Derrick Brown’s monster 4th-quarter sack

It’s Auburn football’s second season without Derrick Brown dressed in orange and blue, but that’s not stopping the defensive lineman from continuing to dominate the game of football. Brown is entering his second season with the Carolina Panthers, and he’s not slowing down.

After being selected by the Panthers as the seventh pick in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft, Brown racked up 34 total tackles as a rookie with 21 solo tackles and two sacks. He was named to the 2020 PFWA All-Rookie team, and he’s not stopping there.

Brown has begun a successful sophomore season in the NFL, helping the Panthers to win their first game over the New York Jets 19-14. The defensive tackle recorded four total tackles in the game, with two solo tackles and one tackle for loss. In the fourth quarter, Brown took down the Jets’ quarterback in extreme fashion:

Next week the Panthers will face off against the New Orleans Saints, and Derrick Brown will have the opportunity to add to his impressive stats.
