#65 Deonte Brown vs Notre Dame (2020)

Strengths: He is a fieldstone on the offensive line with a wide frame, which sets a good base, and has tremendous leverage that attains his ground. As a blocker, he is a mauler at the point of contact; he generates tremendous power and destroys anything in front of his path. He eats up much space on the interior line, and late in the games, it takes a toll on the defender. However, he has mediocre mobility and does not expect him to reach the second level on every down basis. His pass protection is immortal as he never surrendered one quarterback sack his entire career. He can stand up or stop the defender in their tracks and sets a solid anchor. He shows a firm and powerful grip with his hand and will jolt the pass rusher.
​
Weaknesses: Two things that sticks out right away for a player of his size are his stamina and his arms' length. Brown will need to lose some weight for the next level if he wants to become an NFL starter. He will not be a lineman required to pull out to the edge; he is built mainly for short yardage burst. His arms are short for a player at his size and length, which will be a disadvantage for a crafty and robust interior rusher. The interior rusher with longer arms can control the flow and uses them for counter moves, and he will not be able to recover. He lacks versatility on the offensive line and will more than likely restricted to the guard position.

Draft Projection: 3rd - 5th Round
