Raiders NFL Draft Prospect Spotlight: Dyami Brown
The Las Vegas Raiders often have prioritized players who can offer game-changing speed at wide receiver.
Henry Ruggs III is evident of that, and while it’s not his only skill, his speed makes him a threat from anywhere on the field.
If the Raiders would like to find a like-minded receiver to complement him, North Carolina wide receiver Dyami Brown would fit that bill pretty well.
The former four-star recruit didn’t get many targets his freshman season but emerged as a bonafide deep-threat as a sophomore.
In that 2019 season, Brown had 51 catches for 1,034 yards and 12 touchdowns, averaging an incredible 20.3 yards per catch.
Brown had a repeat season in 2020, making 55 catches for 1,099 yards and eight touchdowns while averaging 20 YPC once again.
His 1,099 receiving yards led the ACC last season, with his touchdown and YPC numbers ranking second and third, respectively.
Brown isn’t simply a one-trick pony, though. He likely wouldn’t be ranked as the 22nd best receiver in college football last season by Pro Football Focus if he was.
He’s a physical player despite only being listed at 6-1 and 185 pounds. He enjoys the chance to initiate contact.
Brown releases very well from the line of scrimmage, which was effective for when he ran slant routes.
He knows how to vary the speed in his routes as well, and likes to use stutter moves to shake off coverage.
Brown's route tree was admittedly more limited during his time at North Carolina, although he’s shown the ability to succeed other than by simply going deep.
Even with that, teams could still be concerned about Brown’s mastery of the overall route tree and if he can keep up his production when he’s not running deep all the time.
Teams will probably bet that he will, and the Raiders have never been afraid to take a chance on a potential game-breaker.
