Frame: Thick and powerful back. Put together is an understatement. Will need to monitor weight in college if anything, certainly won’t need to pack on any more.

Athleticism: What he lacks in top-end speed he makes up for with short-area quickness. Carries defenders along with him down the field. Contact balance is superb due to his tree trunks for legs. Throws the shot put and discus, further emphasizing his power.

Instincts: He’s a one-cut back, though he has good vision. Runs with patience behind the line of scrimmage to allow for blockers to get set up. Protects the football when in traffic which shows spatial awareness.

Polish: Will need to find another gear to remain a big-play threat on the next level. Doesn’t run away from defenders in the secondary, but doesn’t have to at this point. Will add immediate threat in goal-line situations. Also prepared for SEC workload physically.

Bottom Line: Defensive backs don’t want to tackle Brown on routine. You can see defenders making “business decisions” more often than not. It’s going to take more than one defender to tackle him, but he will be run down from behind in the SEC. Projects as a productive early-down back with short-yardage and goal-line value.

I've seen at least 3 of these. The university must be making them. Or maybe a graphic artist is spreading them around? I know @Geaux_Vols has done that before.

It’s a template. Every school does this, for practical reasons. You want to show the 50-100 kids you’re trying to build relationships with some social love, and instead of making each one a new graphic, you make one design, and make some part of it easily editable. For example, take a generic player body, and just change the name or number or whatever to personalize it. This particular one is combining the kids HS unis with a Vols uni. We just did something similar at Tulane. Anything to be able to personalize them. It’s extra challenging these days since fewer kids are able to go on visits and take photos in the uniforms and all that, so a lot of creative departments (like Tennessee) are leaning on illustrations more and more.

For what it’s worth, I don’t think there are many fans making graphics for dozens of players and targets and disseminating them through a forum lol. We’re a special brand of weirdos.
