Overview
Listed as a tight end by Tennessee, and even lines up in a three-point stance at times, but his future in the NFL is as a fullback or H-back. In today's NFL, most fullbacks are not blow-'em-up pounders but athletic position blockers who can catch the ball and play special teams. That's why Brown, who had 41 catches for 282 yards and six touchdowns in 2007, will be more coveted by teams than many people expect.
Analysis
Positives: Excellent hands in the flat or over the middle, and adjusts well to balls thrown behind, ahead, above or below the target zone Smart, athletic player who can line up as a slot receiver, fullback, power back, moving tight end or in a three-point stance Well-built, wide body Has the flexibility to adjust to blitzers or oncoming linebackers and safeties at the second level.
Negatives: Adequate height for a fullback, a bit shorter than average for an H-back Not really physical, more of a positional, get-in-the-way blocker Will not drive a linebacker back in the hole Not elusive in space with the ball in his hands, and will not run through tackles or outrun anyone.
