He boasts excellent speed for a linebacker and can cover the deep pass. Brown once ran down Anthony Davis from behind on pass coverage.
In college, Brown was a versatile performer at flanker, safety, linebacker and running back. He rushed for 505 yards on 125 carries in his senior year. He played 30 minutes per game at one position or another during his junior and senior years. A four-year letterman, Jere also ran track.
Jere holds a B.A. in political science. He was named all-county in both track and football in high school and held the school record for the long jump and the triple jump. Jere is employed as a teacher at Conestoga Valley High School in the off-season. His hometown is Lancaster, Pennsylvania."
