Brisker was chosen by the Bears in the second round of last year’s draft. In his final season at Penn State in 2021, he was named first-team All-Big Ten and second-team All-American after recording 63 tackles, two interceptions and seven pass breakups.
In his first year with the Bears, Brisker was selected to the Pro Football Focus NFL All-Rookie Team and named Bears Rookie of the Year by ChicagoBears.com. He registered 104 tackles, five tackles-for-loss, a team-leading four sacks, one interception, two pass breakups, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.
“I watched Jaquan really close [last] year,” Brown said. “He had a great season [last] year. He’s going to have an even better one [this] year.”
Brown was a two-year starter at Penn State, where he displayed ball skills and a knack for creating turnovers. In 26 games over the past two seasons, he compiled 10 interceptions, 19 pass breakups, three forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries. In addition, he was voted defensive MVP of the 2023 Rose Bowl.
Another Penn State defensive back, cornerback Joey Porter Jr., is also grateful to Brisker. The two played together in the Nittany Lions secondary from 2019-21.
“He’s a great guy, brought a lot of energy,” Porter said. “He was just somebody that you would want to be on the field with. He’s going to give the juice no matter what.”
Porter received advice from Brisker in Los Angeles shortly before traveling to the Combine.
“He gave me great tips of what to expect and what to do,” Porter said. “[He said] ‘just be ready for the moment because your name’s going to get called.'”
Porter, the son of former four-time NFL Pro Bowl linebacker Joey Porter, was a three-year starter at Penn State who was named first-team All-Big Ten in 2022.
