Damari Brown

A bigger outside cornerback that sprouted like a weed between junior and senior seasons. Not only comes from a football family as his father won a national championship at Miami, but also calls the South Florida-based NFL factory that is American Heritage home. Is rather sound with his technique and has been coached up on how to play full-field, press-man coverage at a high level on Friday nights. Patient feet and looser hips allow him to mirror speedy wide receivers at the line of scrimmage. Does a nice job of gaining depth while in reverse and isn’t afraid to buy time with his hands. Constantly puts himself in position to make plays in the air, but does seem to be more content with batting the ball away instead of taking it away. Has shown a desire to get physical in run support, but will eventually need to figure out how to get college-sized ball carriers to the ground and must get better at fighting off blocks, especially if he’s working on the shot field. Doesn’t exactly have a ton of game reps under his belt having had to wait his turn in what is always a loaded Patriots’ secondary, but has found ways to step up and make an impact on big stages like against IMG Academy when he picked off FSU signee AJ Duffy. Should find the most success at the next level in an aggressive defensive scheme that likes to leave its corners in 1-on-1 situations. Must keep progressing as a player, but has the length and cover talent to develop into a multi-year starter for a College Football Playoff contender. Should provide some immediate special teams value with his frame and could probably make the transition to safety, if needed.
