Everette Brown's only 225 pounds?!
-
From a Kiper conference call:
Weight is also an issue for another underclassman 'tweener, Everette Brown of Florida State. Some teams wonder if Brown has the body at this point to withstand the rigors of a 16-plus game season. In his final game at FSU, Brown weighed 225 pounds. Teams want their edge pass rushers to be around 260 pounds.
Add in that McShay's predicting that Brown's not even 6'2", and you've got a guy who doesn't fit the physical profile of a Mangini 3-4 OLB, much less a 4-3 DE.
Should be interesting to see how much weight he's able to put on by the Combine & whether it affects his 40 time and performance in LB drills.

6'2, 225?
Can he play RB?
-
Ha.
If this is true, he's about the same size as Mark Sanchez.

This is crazy. The shortest I've seen him said to be is 6'3", and 6'3 1/4 ".
He was 235 as a freshman.

Brown has all the physical tools (Dec18)
Brown is as good as any pass-rusher Scouts Inc. has seen this season. He has a smooth outside-in move that uses a subtle head fake, has great leaping ability and as a run defender shows the athleticism to recover when he makes a bad read. And while we did not see him drop into coverage in the film we studied, Brown has the speed and athletic ability to make the move to outside linebacker at the next level a possibility. His one weakness is that when he gets to the quarterback he is sometimes too intent on stripping the ball and does not concentrate enough on getting the quarterback to the ground.

Brown wouldn't be the first player to have trouble keeping his weight up during the season. But if he's dropping from 238 to 225, he's a marginal fit for 3-4 OLB.
He could be a great situational rusher in a Jim Johnson style defense. But if this is true, I have a hard time seeing him as a fit for Mangini's defense.

In press guides, Allen Iverson is 6'0" and Shaq weighs 320 lbs.
The Combine is the Truth.
-
Yeah, we'll find out soon enough.
He certainly looks bigger than 235.
-
So many have a set mold a player needs to be to be able to perform, in the case of a lineman yes you have to have some weight to throw around 6'2" 225 is not that big of a deal unless he is projected to play inside. Molds are meant to be broken, by those who play with a lot of heart and have a the desire to make an impact.
I will take an undersized overachiever anyday of the week over some of these so called studs, where 9 out of 10 end up only to be average.

Just read that Brown recently weighed in at 255 lbs.
-
I guess we will know his height and weight real soon when he goes to the combine.
-
If Curry is gone, who prefers the pick be Maualuga ? (assuming a trade down and both were still available...)
-
Mike Mayock's taken Brown out of his top 5 OLB rankings:
- 1. Aaron Curry, Wake Forest
2. Brian Orakpo, Texas
3. Brian Cushing, Southern California
4. *Aaron Maybin, Penn State
5. Larry English, Northern Illinois
Don't know why. It's bizarre that he wouldn't have someone widely considered to be a top 15 pick ranked in the top 5 at his position.
-
I've said it before and I'll say it again.
I've got this gut feeling Brian Orakpo is going to be a beast in a 4-3 as a DE.
I think he's not going to be able to make the transition to OLB in a 3-4.
As far as Brown goes, NO MORE TWEENERS IN THE FIST ROUND!!!!!!!!!
They require development time and usually don't start to shine until 3-4 seasons in and you need help NOW with your first rounder.
-
shawne merriman and demarcus ware, much? both of them were beasts off the bat and have continued to be so since. it's more so that a few guys transition well and most others don't.
besides, most pass rushers don't pan out. that's why they're such a rare and valuable commodity.
-
Perhaps he's one of those London Fletcher types who can just play.
