PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT
Brown has the skill set to fit into various offensive systems. He can be effective in a zone-blocking scheme due to his vision and ability to make quick cuts. Additionally, his power and physicality could make him successful in a gap-blocking scheme where he is asked to be more of a downhill runner. Brown's pass-catching and pass-protection abilities make him a good fit for a West Coast or spread offense that values running backs who can contribute to the passing game.
SCOUTING REPORT
At 5-11 200 lbs, Chase Brown is not an imposing figure on the football field. Brown possesses good instincts and track speed suitable for a zone-based rushing offense in the NFL. He plays with good vision and patience as a runner, where he will press the line of scrimmage, forcing LB's out of position before bursting off the edge for a long run. He possesses the three-down versatility needed in the NFL. In 2022, he improved his pass-catching ability and provided quite a few highlight moments on catches out of the backfield. There will be questions about his size once he enters the NFL.
