Scouting Report: Strengths
  • Has quick feet and excellent change-of-direction ability, capable of mirroring quickness underneath.
  • Has the violent hands to discard receivers and smaller tight ends, and Brown is a sure tackler. In coverage, he shows good instincts when sitting back in zone, with click-and-close ability and good ball tracking.
  • 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 he isn’t targeted often.
  • Eager to come downhill as a tackler and plays with a physical edge, and he’s effective as a blitzer.
  • He’s tall-framed with long arms to match. With his powerful hands, straight-line speed, and fluidity in his hips, turning and chasing downfield shouldn’t be a problem.
  • Tough and scrappy with forceful nature to be physical at all levels of the field. Has good bulk on his frame to be aggressive in run support.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • He’s a little bit tight and straight-line-ish as an athlete, and Brown struggles when he has to mirror quickness.
  • Not an explosive player and needs to show better bend and flexibility in his drops - plays too high.
  • Needs to develop a better understanding of route combinations and better overall vision.

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance. For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.

*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
