2022 NFL DRAFT PROSPECT REPORT
- Name: Brittain Brown
- Position: Running Back
- School: UCLA
- Height: 6'1"
- Weight: 205lbs
Film Watched: Hawaii 2021, Oregon 2021, Colorado 2021
Pro's:
- Urgent, quick running back with the requisite acceleration to strain defenses
- Decent size for an NFL ball carrier, with a frame that could perhaps add more muscle mass
- Hits top speed very quickly, with impressive burst as he hits the line of scrimmage
- Impressive foot speed – short, sharp steps through traffic allows him to avoid lower body contact
- Plenty of wiggle; able to adjust trajectory with little loss of speed to avoid contact
- Not shy of contact, and will fight to fall forward
- Effective running behind different blocking schemes
- Kick return experience from his early years at Duke
Con's:
- Isn’t a home run hitter. Top speed doesn’t allow him to run away from pursuit
- A little linear, needs to work on his pad level, particularly through contact
- Operated primarily in pistol or shotgun formations, and likes the time to survey the field
- Brings minimal receiving ability to the position
- Far from a production machine, with just one 700 yard rushing season (2017 – freshman)
The Verdict:
“Brittain Brown has moments on tape where you think he’s destined for NFL greatness, but they’re few and far inbetween. A little inconsistent, Brown shows good adjustments in traffic to elongate plays but doesn’t ever quite seem to get on a roll. A disjointed collegiate career might not have helped this, with his super senior year at UCLA the closest he came to replicating the promise he showed as a freshman at Duke. With a lack of receiving experience on his resume, Brown is somewhat unexciting as a depth piece, although his ability to find gaps and good initial burst does give you hope he can be an effective returner on special teams. A team will take a chance on him, but he’s got a tough task ahead of him if he wants to come through training camp unscathed.”
