Scouting Report: Strengths
- He’s rangy and instinctive when he’s looking into the backfield as a zone defender.
- He’s at his best in coverage. He’s a fluid mover capable of turning and running with tight ends or mirroring backs coming out of the backfield.
- Shows the closing burst and footwork to work well in tight areas.
- Uses his low center of gravity to flash leverage and strong, violent hands to create space and shed to either side. Also spins off blocks to disengage.
- Brown has excellent awareness in zone coverage.
- He has a compact build, but Brown is a crafty edge player who is very good against the run. Brown sets the edge and effectively wards off blocks with a strong core, powerful limbs, and natural leverage.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Gets caught with the eyes in the backfield at times. Strong backs can run through his tackle attempts if he's not in position.
- While Brown has the take-on skills to be a 4-3 Mike, he’s probably better as a Will so he can maximize his range and speed.
- Often engulfed by NFL-caliber tackles due to his lack of height. Must improve consistency in beating cut blocks.
