If he didn't get the tackle he was always right there about to.

skip-zip Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 I don't know if everyone else caught this, but Mike Mayock kept Jatavis in the #5 spot among Linebackers in his 4.0 version of Position Rankings last week. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000654122/article/mike-mayocks-2016-nfl-draft-position-rankings-40 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottditzen Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 Jatavis Brown Relishes Flying Under the Radar Tuesday, May 31, 2016 3:02 PM PDT The situation is a familiar one for Jatavis Brown. It is also one proven to bring out the best in him. The majority of talk around the Chargers draft revolved around Joey Bosa andHunter Henry, which is typical for any team’s top two draft picks. Many also wanted to know about Derek Watt and Drew Kaser, as few fullbacks and punters get selected each season, as well as players from power conferences such as USC’s Max Tuerk, Ohio State’s Joshua Perry and Michigan State’s Donavon Clark. http://www.chargers.com/news/2016/05/31/jatavis-brown-relishes-flying-under-radar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akronzips71 Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 "Small school"? Not exactly. There is that perception problem all over again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottditzen Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 chargerpower71 • 2 minutes ago Thanks for the article, LOVE Jatavis!!!! He plays with a fire you gotta appreciate the kid. One point of contention though, Akron is a D-I University with enrollment of 25,177. So not exactly a "small" school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippyfan34 Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 Brown with some 1st team reps it ILB due to an injury today Quote Denzel Perryman did not practice today but in his place at Inside linebacker was Nick Dzubnar and Jatavis Brown, with Dzubnar getting the bulk of the looks between them. Dzubnar is the "veteran" who knows the system so it's not a shock that he's getting the nod but if Jatavis Brown keeps playing like he does, Brown will jump Dzubnar on the depth chart in no time. Not to say Nick Dzubnar has played bad, Brown flashes with more playing time. Pagano sent Brown on a blitz and he blew threw the line so fast he met Clemens for a sack at the top of his 3 step drop. He was playing downhill all day. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of that, he is my FZOAT. I love JB and his game, but it will be hard for anyone to surpass Jason Taylor in my opinion. I mean to be the GZOAT, wouldn't that mean you have to be one of the best players in NFL history? Again, just my opinion, but we might need to pump the brakes a little here - Jason Taylor is 6th all-time in sacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipsoutsider Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 The Bosa holdout is really giving JB1 the opportunity to receive a lot of attention and it appears he is playing exactly as we all knew he would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, just my opinion, but we might need to pump the brakes a little here - Jason Taylor is 6th all-time in sacks. I realize a player's pro career impacts the status of their college career. I think Jatavis' college career is more impressive than Jason's already. If JB can carve out a legitimate NFL career, I think he goes to GZOAT in a lot of people's books. I think it is safe to say that JT is secure in his title of GPZOAT, though. Does that make sense? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreed5120 Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 Hopefully JB doesn't forget his roots. I must say that I've been a bit jealous that players like Edelman, Cribbs, and Harrison are still connected with that university down the road, meanwhile, when is the last time Jason Taylor stepped foot on Akron's campus?

I was unable to attend this years spring game, but I took this photo of some Zip SB winners the previous year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Z Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Can fifth-rounder Jatavis Brown help defense in year one? (source pff) The defensive player the PFF team was most looking forward to watching on Wednesday was rookie linebacker Jatavis Brown (Akron), but unfortunately he also had the day off. Brown is an undersized defender who does everything well, and does it quickly. Last season, Brown was one of our highest-graded FBS linebackers and graded positively as a run-defender, pass-rusher, and in coverage. Brown has seen some first-team reps during camp already, and we believe he can make an impact as a nickel linebacker. Second-year ILB Denzel Perryman was a highly-effective run defender during the last half of the 2015 season, so perhaps he will stay on the field in base defense, and Brown can substitute in as the nickel backer. The Chargers’ linebacker rotation will be an area to watch as the preseason progresses. 1 pm Wed 8/17 you can DVR Chargers 1st preseason game on the NFL channel.
