I mean, that dude has got a leg! He hits the ball so fast, I don't know if I've ever noticed a kicking motion so violent, outside of martial arts fighters. I really want to see more kicks from Brown, from angles and shorter distances, etc.
Brown certainly has the physical tools to wow us, but I imagine the decision makers are wondering how will he perform when the game is on the line. How will he bounce back from a crucial miss? How short is his memory? This is the kind of stuff he can't show very much of while in preseason. Whenever/wherever he gets signed, it might boil down to someone's gut feel about him. That intangible called intuition the separates a few from the crowd. Brown needs someone to take a chance on him at this stage of his career.
Would I sign him? If he performs on Sunday along the lines of how well he's done to this point, then Hell Yes! He will make mistakes and learn from them here during this upcoming year. This looks to be a great locker room environment that would likely be a positive influence on him. That would be consistent with how this 'team' progresses this year to mature as a unit, and go for it all in '19. And look at what the team did it with - young, talented athletes with a bunch of years in front of them.
Some say you can place your ear next to his, and hear the ocean ....
