Brady Brown's Profile on Scouts INC. ESPN:
Hometown: Argyle, TX
Argyle High School
Ht: 6'5" Wt: 195
Rating: 74
There is an awful lot to like about this guy. Boyd has very good size, excellent top end speed and he's a playmaker. He shows very good awareness and feel for the position. Is a sound route runner for a younger player. Has a feel for coverages and is competent versus both zone and man coverage. Plays very hard and works at it. Size is every good, has the frame to really muscle up and he shows very good acceleration and the ability to make something happen after the catch. Reaches top speed quickly, is smooth and fluid both in and out of his cuts and also after the catch. Moves like a smaller wide receiver in terms of quickness and acceleration. He shows excellent body control on the jump ball and the sideline awareness you want downfield. Adjusts extremely well to poorly thrown passes and is always attacking the football-- is a hand catcher, not a body guy. He could develop into a legitimate vertical threat because of his size/speed combination. Shows great confidence in his ability to catch the football whether he is covered or running wide open, his focus is very strong. The thing that is a bit odd about Boyd's running style is that he runs on his heels which gives him an awkward appearance when in the open field. He is not overly physical yet, but he could be because he is tough and he will work the middle of the field, but time in the weightroom will really help him. Overall, Boyd is just a really good football player with good instincts and awareness for the position.
So let me get this straight all ESPN says about this kid for the most part other than the fact he isn't "overly" physical is most highly complimentary. However, ESPN Scouts INC. only manages to give Brady Brown a 74 overall rating despite all that staunch praise. Last year WRs ranked as a 74 fell into the 121-145 ranked range. This makes absolutely no sense, but second to Rivals, Scouts INC. is most fervently anti-Caucasian!
