When Chris Brown roamed the field as a Rainbow Warrior linebacker in the early 2000s, he was among the most fearsome defenders around. Nearly two decades later, he is now  imparting that same aura to the next generation of Rainbow Warriors as the linebackers coach.

“We’re the lion’s den,” Brown said. “These guys are the leaders and their mentality is to be the greatest guys out there. I expect them to be 100 miles per hour and playing with complete fire behind them and making their presence known. You want to make sure that when an offense is scouting the defense, they cannot ignore the two linebackers. And when they hit you, they make sure you know who hit you.”
