* Jammal Brown on his workout routine with Orlando Brown: “We worked out twice a day, over in the indoor (facility). We wouldn’t even really do a lot of football work. We would just do stuff with our feet. Passing drills, mainly a lot of soccer ball drills. Just training your feet to move fast. That’s what I tried to explain to him. Everybody can have fast feet; you have to put yourself in training to get it that way. That’s a lot of the stuff we did.”

* Jammal Brown, on Orlando Brown’s desire to learn: “Not just playing wise, but leadership wise, setting the bar for his teammates. He really understands, because his dad played in the league. He understands some stuff. He’s a guy that listens. I kind of took him under my wing. Most important part on his part is, he listens. I played in the NFL nine years. He really understands; when I talked and stuff, he would really listen to me .”

* Brown on his relationship with Jammal Brown, who has become a mentor and workout partner: “It’s been great. First thing, when I started working with him in the summertime, he brought me a soccer ball. We used the soccer ball for footwork drills. We worked on a lot of punching, lot of footwork, bettering things, critiquing things that coach Bedenbaugh has taught me. He was a tremendous help, in terms of getting ready and things like that.”

* Brown on overcoming so much already in his life, dealing with the death of his father and the academic difficulty that threatened to curtail his football career: “It’s definitely taught me lessons and how to grow and how to react to situations, to make the best of any situation, no matter what happens. It’s helped me grow, to make the best out of any situation.”

* Jammal Brown on mentoring Orlando Brown: “I just put my time in with him every day. More of the mental aspect of being a college student; you gotta know to do things the right way. Those are the things we talk about, From class to girls to how you live, how you gotta dress, how you need to look. Certain things like that. When it comes time for the NFL, those things are going to be looked at more enhanced, after you see what happened to Aaron Hernandez. You gotta be able to carry yourself in the right way. Being a new kid in school, he’s kind of getting used to all those things.”

* Brown, on why he switched his commitment from Tennessee to OU in the final week before signing day: “OU, they just presented better opportunity for me. Coach Bedenbaugh and the scheme. I’m grateful to be here. I’ve got nothing against Tennessee. I’m blessed to be here.”

* Jammal Brown on Orlando Brown dealing with his father’s death: “Real rough period for him. I had met Orlando way back in the day, because I worked some camps for his dad. I looked up to his dad, because his dad was a great player. He (Orlando) went through a tough time, with his dad passing. He was kind of in a funk when he got here because people looked at him, like, ‘You’re Zeus Brown’s son, you need to be better than what you are getting on campus.’ That kind of messed him with him mentally. Not having his dad there, not really doing much football with his dad, because he (Orlando) didn’t play football until later on in life. So he’d never got the chance to do much football stuff with his dad. His dad talked to him a lot about football, but he never really was able to play in front of his dad for a long period of time. And get coached up. When he got to OU, he was in a slump about that, because you’re going to have to prove yourself. These D-ends want to beat you, because of what you bring to the table. So you’re going to get tested more than anything. He really took that on his back and really prepared himself.”
