San Francisco 49ers cornerback Tarell Brown talked to Sky Sports ahead of their huge NFC Championship game against the New York Giants on Sunday, when they will battle it out for a place in Super Bowl XLVI.

27-year-old Brown has enjoyed a superb first full season as the starting cornerback for the 49ers, having started all 17 games so far as the team turned from 6-10 also-rans to divisional champions and on the verge of a surprising Super Bowl appearance.

Coach Jim Harbaugh has built a superb team in his first NFL season, and despite being written off almost all season they are among the last four standing – and they have home advantage as they play the red-hot New York Giants in Sunday’s NFC Championship game.

Tarell,

As a Head Coach for the Mesquite Falcons when you were 9 years old it was my privilege to know you. I am so proud of all that you have accomplished and the example you have set for the young men and women here in the great City of Mesquite. It has been an honor to follow all that you have done in your career. It is even more of an honor to know that you play for my favorite NFL team. Please continue to give back to the community, as you have done for so many years. For 25 years I have been coaching here in Mesquite. I use you as an example of hard work and dedication to my football team in Mesquite Pee Wee Football every year. I tell that if you work hard and study hard you can go anywhere you choose to. Thumbs up to a GREAT MAN, who has not forgotten where he came from.

Thank you, for the privilege,

Mike Parmentier

This was the best camp yet.  My son and the Hurricane organization of Arlington really appreciated your camp.

Several sites are now saying that the 49ers will have seventh or eight pick in the draft.

Cardinals drive” Tarell Brown picks and goes 52 yards for a touchdown. Bartell threw the ball behind Roberts allowing Brown to score.

Cardinals drive: Three and out for the Cardinals. I’ve been focusing in on Bowman and he’s done a decent job, but he often seems to lose his balance, which isn’t good for a linebacker.

David White and I are trying to figure out the 49ers draft position. The best we can figure it fall somewhere between 4 and 7.
