Brown does well to stay with receivers. He shows a willingness to make tackles against the run. Shows great potential to get better at position quickly.
Weaknesses:
While tall, he is light and struggles at pressing on the line of scrimmage. Will sometimes get caught looking into the backfield. Will need to get stronger in order to cover larger receivers and play along the line of scrimmage.
