Brown RB Connecticut #34 | | Ht:
5'10
Wt: 210
| | | Strengths: |
| Adequate size. Decent quickness
and agility. Has excellent vision. A patient runner; waits for holes to open,
but doesn't dance around too much. A reliable receiver out of the backfield. | | Weaknesses:
| | Doesn't have breakaway
speed. Strength is marginal; doesn't break many tackles. A below average blocker.
Didn't face any elite defenses in the Big East; hasn't been tested. | | Comments:
| | Brown was a very average
running back his first two years at UConn, but experienced a breakout season in
2008. His success will earn him a shot at the next level, but he lacks the measurables
to project as much more than a mid-second round pick. His doubters will bring
up the fact that he may be a product of Connecticut's system, which has produced
some successful collegiate runnings back who have failed in the NFL. He's in a
similar position to UCF's Kevin Smith in 2008; scouts can't ignore his collegiate
stats, but he hasn't faced enough elite defenses to prove that he is capable of
producing on the same level in the pros. |
