Draft Profile: Bio
Hank Brown from Lipscomb Academy High School was rated a 3-star recruit by ESPN and handed a 3-star grade by 247 Sports. After high school, Brown opted to join Auburn.In 2023 as a freshman Brown saw action in just one game for the Tigers as he threw for only 132 yards on 10 attempts with a completion percent of 80 for an average of 13.2 yards per pass, with no TDs, while taking no sacks, and an elite QB rating of 118.8.
In 2024 as a sophomore he played in just 3 games as he passed for only 403 yards on 44 attempts with a completion percent of 61.4 for an average of 9.2 yards per pass, with only 6 TDs, while also taking no sacks, and putting up QB rating of 102.6.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Good (not elite) arm strength and can easily make all the NFL throws with effortless deep passes.
- Prototypical height for the position with the frame to easily add another 15 pounds of muscle mass without a significant loss in quickness.
- Ball placement is a strength. Brown has the natural instincts to make plays when forced to improvise.
- Physically, Brown is a natural athlete who plays with the balance and light feet to float in the pocket.
- Good zip and ball placement on the quick slant. Good touch down the seam and on post-corner, flag routes to attack the defense vertically and horizontally.
- Brown has a quick release and shows good accuracy on shorter throws when on the move to either side.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Lanky, almost skinny build more suited to playing wide receiver than quarterback in the NFL.
- Sails throws to either sideline; receivers make him look good with acrobatic catches. Back-foot throws are not accurate. Sometimes trusts his arm too much, trying to stick passes late in the play or when off-balance.
- His arm strength is decent but less than ideal; Brown lacks a little zip, and accuracy becomes an issue when he’s unable or unwilling to set his feet.
