Tape Review: Strength and Weaknesses
The combination of speed and route-running makes Brown challenging to cover. Defensive backs have to respect his ability to make a big play on go routes, making them susceptible to the curls and slants he breaks off with ease. He also makes shortcuts on inside patterns that create enough separation for his quarterback to get him the ball. Brown has enough wiggle to make defenders miss and accelerates quickly to gain yards after the catch. He also uses his arms and body well to create space from defensive backs in contested catch situations.
He tends to lose focus on short passes because he is eager to gain yards after the catch, often leading to drops. If he wants to stick on an NFL roster, he will need to make his hands a lot stickier.
