Arthur Brown hoping to make "greater impact"

Baltimore Ravens linebacker Arthur Brown has revealed that he is determined to make a big impact at the club during his second season in the NFL.

Brown played sparingly for the Ravens last season as he sat behind Daryl Smith and Jameel McClain in the pecking order at middle linebacker, after being selected in the second round of the 2013 Draft.

"It's an honour to even be considered and compete for that spot," Brown told the Baltimore Sun. "I'm looking forward to it.

"Last year, was a stepping stone for me and a lot of the other rookies to learn and gain from our experiences. I'm looking forward to making a greater impact and a greater contribution this year."

The 23-year-old recorded 15 tackles, 0.5 sacks and a forced fumble in the 2013 season.
