Brown, a native of Scottsdale, Arizona, was the 223rd overall selection in the three-day draft.
A three-year starter, Brown finished his collegiate career with eight interceptions, 27 pass breakups and four forced fumbles. In earning first-team all-Missouri Valley Football Conference honors as both a junior and senior, Brown’s career totals also included 148 total tackles (117 solo) and six tackles for loss.
Former South Dakota State quarterback Taryn Christion signed a free agent offer from the Seattle Seahawks and offensive lineman Sepesitiano Pupungatoa received an invitation to attend rookie mini camp with the Minnesota Vikings following the conclusion of the National Football League Draft on Saturday.
