Miles Brown amassed more than a mile of offence over his final two seasons of high school football.
And he did that as a 260-pound running back at Sidwell Friends School in Washington, D.C.
For insights into what life was like as a steamroller, we approached Brown — now a 6-foot-2, 320-pound defensive tackle — after he practised with the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Thursday at Mosaic Stadium.
“I was pretty lethal, man,” Brown, 25, said with a laugh. “I can’t remember how many touchdowns I scored, but I had over 1,000 yards rushing in my senior season.
“I was pretty good. I miss it sometimes.”
The same sentiment could not possibly be held by those who were tasked with the immense, unenviable challenge of trying to tackle, or even contain, Brown when he was a two-way terror for the Sidwell Friends Quakers.
As a junior, he rushed for 400 yards and seven touchdowns in addition to registering 72 defensive tackles and five sacks. That was on top of posting a 23-0 record as a high school wrestler.
He followed up in 2014, his senior year, by (inhale) rushing 136 times for 1,012 yards, catching 22 passes for 314 yards, making 97 tackles, registering two sacks and adding two interceptions (exhale) while seeing duty as a running back, tight end and defensive lineman.
