OVERALL

Brown is a three-year starter with over 100 career tackles and 31 pass breakups. He's an undersized player with a scrappy play style. He excels in pass coverage where he's able to use his speed to run with receivers and short-area quickness to play quicker routes. Brown does a very good job of undercutting routes and attacking the ball.

While being a willing tackler, he shows good strength and physicality, but at times he can't overcome his lack of size, in both the pass game where bigger receivers can easily find good positions for jump balls, or in the run where he struggled tackling bigger backs. At the next level, Brown's skills best transition into the slot, and he also gives legitimate return and special teams value.

GRADE: 6.6/10 (Career Backup/Rotational Player—Round 6)
