Zach Brown's speed could help Rams

Posted Feb 28, 2012
In high school, Zach Brown was a Maryland state champion in the 100- and 200-meter dash. "I was always the biggest sprinter in every race," Brown recalled. "It was like, 'Who is this guy? This big guy in Lane 4?'" It was Brown. He has grown into a 244-pounder and one of the fastest linebackers in the NFL draft pool this or any other year. (St. Louis Post-Dispatch)
