Simply one of the best defensive tackles to ever play the game.
Trying to think of another DT in Donald's class at this point. I'm guessing Reggie White?

Greg Gaines- 6’ 2” 313 lbs., unrestricted free agent after 2022
Thrust into a starting nose tackle role after the injury to Sebastian Joseph-Day, Gaines responded with 55 tackles, 4.5 sacks 13 quarterback hits. His hustle, effort and pursuit stood out on film. Although a little undersized in both mass and length for a nose tackle in today’s NFL, his success shows that low leverage and a hot motor never go out of style in the trenches.
A’Shawn Robinson- 6’ 4” 320 lbs., unrestricted free agent after 2022
Robinson was really an immoveable object versus the run. Amassing 67 tackles in only 516 snaps. He also cleaned up a couple of sacks and QB hits. His ability to stonewall the line opened up others to apply pressure. It will be fun to watch Bobby Wagner attack the ball with the luxury of lining up behind Rob. Injuries have always been a concern with Robinson, hopefully his weight loss and a new conditioning program can keep him on the field.
Chalk it up to the "Donald Effect" or not, if either of these guys (particularly Gaines) match their performance from last season...they're gonna get paid and be tough to keep.
Hopefully, we'll get a better idea of what type of player Brown is this season (or, at least, in the pre-season).
