FILM
*Speed*
Brown's best weapon. Once he gets behind DB's, he will make plays. He is gifted in using his speed to create separation and understands this well.
Here, he has a solid 2-3 yards in front of DB for the long bomb. Nice play

*Route Running*
This was a nice display of route running. Brown understands the details of getting the defender off balance w/ a subtle head fake and then gets an inside release on this vertical.

Sharp, crisp route. I like the short choppy steps and then plants his outside foot on this quick slant and sees the ball in and breaks a couple of tackles on his way to a TD
Brown stacks the DB on this fade route, to get between the ball and the defender to make a play. It's also nice concentration on the over-the-shoulder catch in the deep corner of the EZ
*Impact Plays*
Brown is not a huge target at 6'1, but has decent size to make plays like this. Tight coverage by the DB, but times this jump ball perfectly and attacks. A nice play that shows he can translate to the next level

Another big play where he makes a one hand catch. The ball is underthrown but right on target for Brown to make a play.
*Weaknesses*
Gets outmuscled/strength
Brown has good position on the defender, and the ball is in his hands, but the DB knocks it free and Brown can't hang on

Here's another example.
Brown has his guy beat and tries to one-hand this catch, rather than try to lean into the defender and grab with both his hands. It causes a sloppy catch attempt that the DB rips away from Brown

Inconsistent Hands
This is a touchdown. You cannot drop this ball.

a high-end WR2 ceiling.
If he lands in the right situation, he will be a nice value pick in your rookie drafts in the mid-to-late 2nd and early 3rd and contribute as a WR3/flex in 2021
He's worth the pick at that price.
