COACH TREADWELL ABOUT BRISON BURRIS: "Brison really stood out to me on tape because he has great range against the run or the pass. He is a physical tackler who wraps up and drives through his man. Brison is the kind of a safety that you like filling the alley because he will come up with everything he has."
