Scouting Report: Strengths
- Does not possess top breakaway speed, though he's rarely caught from behind.
- Brown brings a nice blend of power and passing game skills. He has a compact build and a naturally low center of gravity, and Brown runs with excellent balance through traffic, allowing him to squeeze through for yardage.
- Brown has a low center of gravity and runs with a nice forward lean. He’s decisive with good vision and shows nice balance when running in traffic and the body control to bounce and spin off of bodies.
- His passing game skills are strong. He’s a natural hands catcher who turns upfield quickly in the screen game, and he shows a great feel for setting up wheel routes.
- He’s on the small side but solidly built, thick through the lower body. He’s light on his feet with good vision, and he shows creativity as a runner, finding cut-back lanes.
- He’s solid in blitz pickup, and he consistently showed the ability to anchor against bigger players.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Too indecisive and hesitant at the line of scrimmage.
- Goes down too easily upon contact and needs to do a better job staying on his feet and anticipating hits. Needs to be more of a finisher and run with more purpose and determination.
- He’s not physically imposing. Brown is small-framed and won’t be able to carry much more weight.
