In 33 years in the National Football League, I don't know that I loved working with or knowing anyone more than Roosevelt Brown. The world knows he was a great player. But few know what a great scout he was. He was a treasure to have in our scouting department, full of wisdom and knowledge.

We were not looking for an 'in the box, play close to the line of scrimmage, run-defend only' safety. That's not what we were looking for. We were looking for someone that can do that but who also had the ability to play free safety and play centerfield. And because of his speed, we picked him. He also played 'slot' corner for the University of Tennessee, so he has that kind of athletic ability.
