Barion Brown

Above average height with a lean, wiry build that should hold some more mass in college. Proven three-phase playmaker with big-play ability fostered by great functional athleticism. Long-striding gait that builds top-end speed, but does not hinder above average short-area change of direction. Varied positional background with snaps at quarterback (largely wildcat), running back, receiver, defensive back, and kick/punt returner. More subtle than violent when stringing together moves but more than capable of doing so for chunk yardage. Good downfield ball-tracking concentration. Possesses press traits at corner and flashes closing speed and arriving conviction in pursuit. Elite track profile for a football player with a 10.49 100 and 21.37 200. May not play quite that fast on the field, but nevertheless is the fastest player on the field in vast majority of situations. Has some slippery strength but lack of mass affects contact balance. Beats high school opponents with superior physical traits/athleticism and will need to hone technical side of playing receiver. Majority of touches have come in the run game so getting reps as a route runner and hands catcher will be key. Outstanding projection at cornerback, but current signs point to playing receiver, which still provides a great fit with high-ceiling upside. Provides great special teams value as a return man and potential coverage gunner. Big-play machine who projects to the high-major level as a possible difference-making weapon with a ceiling beyond the college game.
