Brown

Brown is a seventh-round flier out of Northern Illinois who is roughly eighth on the depth chart right now. O’Shaughnessy is a developmental small-school project who will serve as the third tight end behind Travis Kelce and Demetrius Harris.

A seventh-round pick out of Northern Illinois, Brown caught seven passes for 67 yards and a touchdown during the preseason. He will be given a year on the practice squad to develop.

A seventh-rounder out of Northern Illinois, Brown caught four passes for 30 yards in the preseason opener, but struggled to make an impact after that. He will likely be stashed on the practice squad.

Brown (6'0/205) made second-team All MAC as a senior, finishing his career with 2,290 yards and 19 TDs on 154 catches (14.9 YPR). He ran 4.54 at the Combine and posted solid marks in the vertical (37") and broad (10') jumps. Just an above-average athlete at his size, Brown’s calling cards are huge, sure hands (10 1/4") and a wide catching radius. As Brown will be a 24-year-old rookie, his long-term ceiling may be capped. We should find out early in Brown’s career whether he’ll be a contributor.
