Jets claim CB Alex Brown off waivers from the Eagles

At 5-foot-11 and 170 pounds, Brown likely winds up being slated for nickel cornerback duties, although it’s possible he doubles as a free safety. Versatility and special teams contributions will increase his chances.

Brown has good speed, too, having run a 4.44 40-yard time during his pro day, along with a decent 7.2-second three-cone drill. More than a handful of draft projections listed Brown as either a seventh-round draft pick, or at least a high-priority undrafted free agent.

That’s good, as is the versatility part.
