Years played: 2010-2013

Drafted: Brown was the 9th overall pick in the 3rd round by the Buffalo Bills in the 2014 NFL Draft.

Discussion: Preston Brown dominated while he was at the University of Louisville, but he is really blossoming in the NFL for the Buffalo Bills. All of the defensive play-calls are going through him and he is the leader of a very solid NFL defense.

Brown has come a long way during his career in the NFL and this may be his best season as a Buffalo Bill. He is currently second on the roster in total tackles and is in the top 15 in the entire NFL.

His presence in the middle of the field has been huge for the Bills so far in the 2016 season.
