Volson had a ways to go chasing the LB and was enough of a barrier that defender could not get a hit on Brown. Brown's rapid acceleration is a huge help to the linemen as they don't need to sustain blocks very long.
So true, with that rapid acceleration it really helps out the OL because like you said, they don't have to hold blocks long at all.

Yes, I saw that back then and that on top of just plain watching him at Illinois made me want Chase Brown, we need pass
protection from our RB more than about any team with how pass heavy we have been.
Saw that Chase Brown blocked more than any other RB in that class, most snaps.
