the take on his ability ?
?Browning is an aggressive and productive linebacker who is strong and athletic enough to develop inside or out. He has the burst to chase down ball carriers anywhere on the field paired with speed and fluid hips to excel in pursuit and on the perimeter. Browning shows a high acumen for playing against the pass, which is rare for a linebacker with his size.? 247Sports
