Beniquez Brown
School: Mississippi State
Position: ILB
Positive: Two-year starter who finished with a career-best 99 tackles last season while also blocking two kicks. Underrated run defending linebacker with starting potential at the next level. Remains disciplined with assignments, chases the action hard and wraps up tackling. Breaks down well, uses his hands to protect himself and relatively instinctive. Fires up the field filling gaps, displays speed in pursuit and the ability to get outside the numbers. Flows well to the action laterally, displays a closing burst and nicely redirects to the play. Remains disciplined with cover assignments.
Negative: Inefficient and often times over pursues the action. Easily knocked off balance by the first block. Average skill in coverage.
Analysis: Brown is a terrific two down defender that can also stay on the field in certain zone packages and is one of the more underrated linebackers in this draft.
