UL — Don’t send recycled wide receivers to University of Louisiana secondary coach Hurlie Brown.

He doesn’t particularly want them.

Brown is searching for defensive backs who catch the ball, and that approach works for the Cajuns who lead the Sun Belt Conference with 11 interceptions.

UL, whose nine interceptions ranked second to last in the league last season, is ranked No. 17 nationally in pickoffs.

That’s something Brown thinks is due mainly to profiling players who have instincts for taking away possessions.

So send those suspect receivers with suspect hands elsewhere, Brown said.
