Detroit Lions DB Brian Branch Film Breakdown

In this video, I take a look at Detroit Lions DB Brian Branch, who was immediately one of the Lions' best defensive players, as soon as he took the field as a rookie.

this is elite content

[@dreyonscott8910]

Can you do Quan Martin next

[@brantmkw4783]

great vid

[@bradpirochta9293]

Great video. Love the stats. The only quibble I have is "elite speed". I'm not saying he has elite speed, but if you're basing it off the combine then you're basing it off something that is for track guys. Just saying... to learn how to come off "the blocks", stay low, conserve motion, etc... that can be learned, and usually is by track guys, but good football players don't gaf about it. I don't ever see anyone running away from him.

He definitely doesn’t have elite speed.. watch his Bama tape

[@AtoZSportsFilmRoom]

He got beat deep a couple times on his Bama tape and didn't test that well, I think it's fair to say he's not that fast by NFL standards. But he's fast *enough* & he makes up for it with technique and route recognition. There are lots of other rookie CBs that are way faster than him in a straight line, but get beat over the top a lot more often (DJ Turner/Jakorian Bennett/Emmanuel Forbes). It's because they're jumpy at the LOS, take false steps, get themselves out of position, and don't anticipate routes.

[@gavinpujado2579]

Happened again this year with Johnny newton and cooper dejean

[@Steelers_DB]

@@gavinpujado2579 at least w Newton (who was a great prospect), we have the foot injury excuse. Branch was just a total whiff by the league.

[@pickausername9002]

And the 4th lol

[@ChewsCarefully]

@@Steelers_DB It was *more* than that. The Packers traded away their pick of him for what, a 5th-rounder? Even if they had no need at his position, why are you trading down for a 5th-rounder? & they *_DID_** have need at S. **_AND_** they traded the pick of him **_to a division rival!!!_* Whaaaat the...
