Comment:
Brown is an old-fashioned football player who plays bigger and faster than his measurables suggest. He is tough, smart and somewhat underrated. He might be the league's most disciplined and technically sound safety. He does all the little things and never gets sloppy or careless. He has great instincts, and his preparation and recognition skills allow him to get great jumps on the ball. He wastes virtually no motion and closes extremely well on balls. His first-step quickness is outstanding and he excels at reading quarterbacks and anticipating plays. He can cover the deep half or attack the line of scrimmage. He has excellent range in cover 2 and can regularly reach the perimeter. He covers a lot of ground and rarely is fooled by play fakes. He can turn and run with tight ends and backs. He is not, like many cover 2 safeties, a liability in man-to-man coverage. He is an excellent tackler who consistently breaks down and wraps up. His excellent leaping ability negates his size deficit in many matchups. His size might hinder his durability, but he otherwise makes up for any physical shortcomings--and then some.
