Areas for ImprovementBrown is a bit grabby and has given up a number of penalties. He has given receivers too big a cushion in coverage. Hasn't had a lot of experience in a zone scheme -strictly a man/press corner. Has a high backpedal and loses a step in transition. Plays with adequate speed but there are concerns about his ability to handle the truly explosive speedsters of the NFL. He is inconsistent getting off of blocks. Can be a step slow to react when a quarterback comes back to his side of the field late in progression.
