ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS
Posted productive junior season in talent-rich SEC. Likes the game played downhill. Wrap-up tackler who finished with 100 total tackles and four sacks this season. Big enough to play through an angle block and work back into a play. Lively in his pursuit to the sideline and racks up tackles as mop-up man on the perimeter. Communicative on the field helping to direct traffic.
WEAKNESSES
Marginal athlete lacking burst to the ball. Step slow to read and flow allowing climbing linemen to force him over the top of the block. Very average body control and balance through contact. Will occasionally sidestep a block rather than taking it on with a shoulder and leveraging his gap. Instincts for run fits is sub-par. Needs better feel for seal blocks headed his way and must improve his hand usage.
NFL COMPARISON
Amarlo Herrera
BOTTOM LINE
Tape doesn’t always match up with the production numbers especially against high-end competition like Alabama and LSU. Brown’s an able tackler and will flow into gaps looking for impact plays, but his average recognition time paired with marginal lateral quickness prevents him from consistently beating climbing blockers to the spot. Brown has some eventual starter ability but lacks the play traits teams covet from inside.
