What experts are saying:
“Brown has ridiculous speed for his size… This is the kind of freak athlete you acquire for your team and figure out a role for him later… There’s a good chance he never find a niche at all in the NFL. But his athleticism and bruising mindset make him worth a gamble, a player with much higher than ordinary upside.” Macgregor Wells, SB Nation, March 24, 2017
Rated 14 out of 85 full backs and no. 533 overall on NFL Draft Scout.
2017 NFL Draft Projection: Undrafted free agent.
