Scouting Report: Strengths
- Has the fluidity, speed and quick feet to come down and defend slot receivers in man coverage. Brown also does a nice job breaking down in space as a tackler after the catch.
- His ball skills are very good. Brown tracks the ball well downfield and has the hands and coordination to come away with interceptions even when Brown isn’t targeted often.
- Has the change-of-direction ability to mirror underneath but did solid work out of press and off coverage.
- He’s also very good in zone coverage, showing a great understanding of routes and the ability to close quickly.
- Instincts are outstanding, and he does an excellent job in route recognition.
- Has good ball skills to locate and attack the ball in the air.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Brown runs well, but Brown doesn’t have elite recovery speed.
- Susceptible to the big plays as a gambler at the catch point and as a catch-and-run victim. He’s also too reluctant to come up and make hits in run support, often focusing on the strip more than the tackle.
- Lacks elite speed to recover if beaten on double move. Ducks his head and swipes too often on open-field tackles.
