CHARLOTTE — Pro Bowl defensive lineman Derrick Brown is a key player for the Carolina Panthers, serving as both a captain and a foundational piece of the team’s defense.
Brown is back in the lineup after missing most of the 2024 season with a knee injury.
Channel 9’s DaShawn Brown spoke with Brown about getting back on the field and life off of it.
In addition to his role on the field, Brown is a husband, father, and real estate investor, balancing his professional and personal life with dedication.
“I very much enjoy watching something go from nothing and watching people be able to live in these things that we do,” Brown said about his passion for real estate.
Brown draws parallels between his work in real estate and his role on the Panthers.
“Some of the stuff we do in real estate, you never really know what’s under the surface,” Brown said.
