Brown has immediate and legit speed. That speed has served him well as a returner, which is where he'll make his biggest impact during his early stages as an NFL player. He finished his collegiate career with six kick return touchdowns. He finishes eighth all-time in NCAA history in kick return average and third-best in SEC history while leading the SEC in two of the last three seasons in this category. Brown has a limited route tree and release package. He's a linear player, though, who needs to improve his deceleration and hip sink at the top of his stems. He has the raw speed to get by with speed releases to this point, but he'll need to continue to add to the tool belt at the next level. In his final season, he was utilized on screens a ton and in motion, ensuring free releases at the line. In 2025, 36.5% of his target volume was via screens, and 54.2% of his targets came within nine yards of the line of scrimmage or behind it. Brown isn't a ball winner at the catch point with a 36.7% career contested catch rate. His hands can also be suspect overall in the receiving game, with a 12.1% or higher drop rate in two of his four collegiate seasons.
