High Hopes For 'Baby Ed Reed'

Omar Brown will likely make his mark on special teams. Brynden Trawick also gets another chance.
Omar Brown has made a name for himself with his playmaking ability in the preseason the last two years.
The undrafted safety out of Marshall came up with five turnovers in the preseason his rookie year, and ultimately ended up earning a spot on the practice squad. He got called up to the active roster midway through last year and finished the season on the 53-man squad.
Brown had another strong training camp this year, earning the nickname “Baby Ed Reed” from his teammates for his ball-hawking ability.
But even with all the plays Brown seemed to make on defense, he realized that the area where he needed the most improvement was on special teams. He spent the offseason and first eight weeks on the practice squad this year honing his skills as a special teamer, and the work paid off as Brown was re-called to the active roster on Wednesday.
