Lions Add Aamaris Brown: Breaking Down the UNLV Cornerback’s Fit in Detroit
Overlooked but explosive, Aamaris Brown arrives in Detroit with a nose for big plays — from a game-sealing pick vs. UCLA to multiple defensive scores at UNLV, he’s the kind of undrafted talent that forces his way into the conversation.
The Detroit Lions continue to build out their undrafted free agent class, and one of the more intriguing additions in this year’s group is cornerback Aamaris Brown out of UNLV Rebels football. Brown arrives in Detroit with a winding college journey and a production profile that suggests he could push for a role as a versatile defensive back. His final season at UNLV showcased his playmaking ability, highlighted by a game-clinching interception against UCLA Bruins football — a moment that underscored his instincts and ability to deliver in key situations.
In 2025, Brown posted a 69. 8 overall defensive grade, including a strong 73. 0 mark in run defense.
His coverage grade came in at 65. 5, while his tackling grade sat at 62. 7, paired with a 16.
7% missed tackle rate. In coverage, he allowed a 59. 0% reception percentage and recorded four interceptions, six pass breakups and two touchdowns, along with four penalties.
