Scouting Report: Strengths
- Brown shows good quickness off the line of scrimmage and flashes the violent hands to win around the edge.
- He has an excellent feel for working off blockers and knowing how and when to counter as the play goes on.
- He’s an instinctive and active chase-and-tackle 4-3 Will, with the speed to go sideline to sideline. He takes excellent angles. He also has an innate sense for shooting gaps as a run defender.
- He has a compact build, but Brown is a crafty edge player who is very good against the run. He sets the edge and effectively wards off blocks with a strong core, powerful limbs, and natural leverage.
- He can be used as a rangy run defender inside, instinctive when it comes to locating the ball with the quickness to get to it before blockers can react at the second level.
- Brown can move laterally and chase in pursuit. A tough, violent tackler with a non-stop motor, he also shows good awareness when dropping into coverage.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Brown doesn’t have much room on his frame to add weight, and Brown lacks the upper-body strength to be a stack-and-shed linebacker.
- He lacks the speed of a chase and- tackle guy. Brown lacks twitch as a pass rusher and lacks the feet and flexibility to threaten around the edge.
- He’s not a guy who can be put on the edge every down and be expected to consistently create pressure.
