Graded Runningback Traits:

• Ball Security: 7/10 (4 fumbles this year with biggest workload of any college year)
• Blocking: 6/10 (He will block for you but sometimes seems to not be sure of who to pick up)
• Burst: 5/10 (Again nothing great here. He does not explode after getting the ball and is a very average athlete)
• Change of Direction: 5/10 (He keeps moving forward even when changing direction and does not have the best stop and start ability)
• Durability: 7/10 (Had multiple injuries this year although nothing major. Had very heavy usage that may have taken a toll on him. He is also 22 already so he is on the older side for a rookie running back)
• Elusiveness: 4/10 (Really does not make many miss. Tries to run around players rather than juking them. Kind of a take what is given back)
• Pass Catching: 6/10 (He ran some different routes but mainly played the role of checkdown, although he was good at that role)
• Power: 5/10 (He can drag defenders and lower his shoulder be he does not overpower a lot of defenders)
• Speed: 6/10 (Decent speed but not really a homerun threat)
• Vision: 6/10 (He makes the right read most of the time but does not do a ton of creating for self or being patient until the hole opens up)

Prospect Grade: 57/100; 57% (Role Player)

Projected Draft Day: 3

Player Comparison: Myles Gaskin

Player Summary:

Jack of All trades, master of none pretty much describes Chase Brown. He is an average athlete who can give you some power and elusiveness but is not great in either. He could carve out a role as a pass catcher but we do not expect him to be anything special.
