He has one of the best pro-day workouts in history. Interesting prospect for sure.

Brown played tight end all through high school. Put on tons of artificial weight in college.”when he was converted to O-line. While his athleticism is through the roof, I worry that he will suffer from JJ Watt syndrome and always be injured because he has to work so hard to keep weight on.

Artificial weight? ROFL

You think these dudes walk around naturally at these weights when their careers are over let alone entire off-seasons? Industry term.

When Akiem Hicks was recruited to LSU out of high school, it was as a linebacker and he weighed between 225-240 lbs. max. He is currently listed at over 350 lbs.

I’m fully aware. You’re using it as some knock on him when most offensive linemen do the exact same shit.

Not all. With age, metabolism slows and it is easier for them to keep the weight on. Read an interview with Brown and he admitted his struggles with it as he is a hard-gainer and wasn’t crazy about the toll it took on his body.

Struggling to find the damn thing - it actually quoted Brown grumbling a bit about having to wake in the middle of the night to eat to pack weight on.

PFN alludes to his high school/college transformation here:

Decent read.

I’ll see if I can’t find it...

TIA!

You're welcome.

Amari Rodgers is WR14 (95th prospect overall) with a 3rd round grade. His playing style is compared to Randall Cobb's and he's given a "medium fit" designation for the Chiefs.

They say he's "one of the grittiest, smartest" players in the draft, built like a RB who showcases a great vertical and great speed to get deep, playing completely fearlessly and was still productive after Trevor Lawrence went down. However, he is mostly a threat to zone defenses, and may have trouble shaking CBs in the NFL, as his route running needs a lot of work and he can get out-physicalled quite a bit.

Cornell Powell is WR31 (220th prospect overall) with a 5th round grade. He does not have an analysis in the guide.

They do not address that in the guide.

He'd be a late rounder WR I'd take a flyer on.

Terry is WR33 in the guide (244th overall) and does not have a player evaluation in the guide. He has a 6th-7th round grade.

Brown is OT16 in the guide (94th overall) and has a 3rd round grade.

He's, clearly, "massive," and moves like a much smaller player. His strength is in the run game, where he roadgrades and eradicates at the 2nd level. His play in the pass is strong, too, showing savvy abilities in managing passrushers. He is still very, very raw, however, and has a lot of technicalities to clean up -- he's still relatively new to the position.

They compare his playing style to Kaleb McGary, and conclude he has a rare set of skills that are appealing but is only a "medium fit" because the Chiefs are so pass-heavy. A long-term project.
