Menas talked to Abigail Rubel about Brown's impact on the team, “His presence alone will impact the game, whether he gets the ball in the pass or doesn’t get the ball in the pass. Any guy would want to be on the field with him. This will make stories for every one of the players in that game that get to play with AB. It’d be pretty incredible.”
