Freddie Brown (WR)
Height: 6'3"
Weight: 215
College:
Utah
Conference:
Mountain West
Hometown: La Verne, CA
High School: Damien
|
Pick Analysis: Brown lacks experience but has some upside going into Cincinnati with the unstable wide receiver situation there. He is a tall possession receiver who's not afraid to go over the middle. He can go up and get it, but he doesn't have top-flight speed. He really broke out and became the go-to guy in his senior season.
Overview
Junior College
High School
NFL fans might not be familiar with his name, but Alabama fans know all too well who Freddie Brown is after he closed his career with 12 catches for 125 yards in the Utes' upset of the Crimson Tide in the Sugar Bowl.
Brown contributed for three years as a reserve in Utah's prolific offense (38 catches, 458 yards from 2005-2007) before becoming the possession receiver safety valve for quarterback Brian Johnson as a senior. Brown led the Utes with 77 catches for 900 yards and seven touchdowns in 2008.
He redshirted in his only season at Citrus College before going to Utah.
While Brown can play multiple receiver positions and is strong after the catch, he lacks great speed and must catch the ball more securely to make an NFL roster.
Junior College
Redshirted at Citrus College in 2004.

Analysis
Injury Report
Positives: Tall with a strong upper body build and long arms. Has the size to beat the jam. Uses his frame to shield defenders on slants and crossing routes. Fights for the ball in the air and for extra yardage after initial contact, especially against smaller corners. Equally effective when lining up on the slot or outside. Separates from defenders on jump balls using his height and length. Works to get open if his quarterback scrambles. Able to make a quick move after the catch to free himself from a cornerback.
Negatives: Very inconsistent hands; will pluck one ball away from his frame and then body-catch or drop the next. Below-average straight-line speed; fails to break away from corners or safeties down the sideline. Loses balance when trying to make a move in the open field. Product of a spread system. Generally a tough receiver, but will hear footsteps over the middle.
