The Philadelphia Eagles interrupted a quiet Saturday to add former Chargers linebacker Jatavis Brown to the roster on a one-year deal.
Brown is a speedy, physical and undersized linebacker who could find a fit on the Eagles roster and definitely excel on special teams.
With Brown spending the bulk of his NFL career on the west coast, here are three things to know about the Eagles’ new linebacker.

1. Brown was a MAC (Mid-American Conference) monster in college
Brown was a stud linebacker at Akron, earning All-MAC First-team honors three years in a row. In his senior year, Brown was the MAC Defensive Player of the year after logging 116 tackles, 19.5 tackles for loss, and a team record 11.5 sacks.
