Everyone with a pulse knew he was fast. The question is can he run inside the tackles and stay healthy with that upright running style. Outstanding D2 back one of best I ever seen in following the PSAC the last twenty years.

I think versatility too. Can he catch, return kicks, block, etc. That's what made Danny Woodhead stick around in the NFL (also a coach that loved to give room for overlooked guys to prove themselves).

Brown has the skill set to be a valuable player. He's an excellent receiver out of the backfield and did return kickoffs. Adding punt returning ability would certainly help and he did have a few highlight plays at the NFLPA bowl on special teams coverage.
Running backs are a dime a dozen unfortunately. There may be 75 more guys across the country draft eligible this year in a similar skill set. His stock wasn't going to get any higher with how great he played this year and all the star power leaving the building in Bagent and Fisher and co. If NFL was the goal, he probably picked a good time to give it a try given the circumstances.

Did anyone make it to the spring game this past weekend? I was unable to attend but here was some stuff I heard:
Transfer from VMI QB Seth Morgan apparently got the first team reps in the Spring game. He and Etchison (top back up all of Bagents career) seemed to get most of the attention. Little Bagent isn't due in until fall camp, but most likely he'll be a redshirt I'd think.
RB Room is empty... Ronnie Brown declared for the draft, Holley transferred and the presumed returning starter Blake Hartman has apparently moved on from the sport entirely. Nazir Russell and Malaki Brown (Former WR) are the only names until some freshman arrive in the fall it looks like. Have heard Brown has looked very natural at RB and might be the fastest player on the team.
WR's I'm told looked solid overall, no standouts but a good solid group. OL working in some new faces had some struggles against a veteran DL group.
Defense, as in most cases, has looked superior to the offense majority of the game and all spring. They have a lot of faces coming back on D and adding some interesting pcs from the portal/recruiting that should make them one of the top units in the Region for the fall.

I didn't but had a feeling our RB situation might be an issue -- Really hoping we might be able to snag someone from the portal during the 15-day period, from May 1-15. I'd have to think someone saw the success Ronnie had in the system and might want to transfer in.
Works both ways, too. Our teams will likely tell some their services are no longer needed.
Usually when some come in this time of year it has to mean some are going out.
