Nate Brown, WR, Missouri #7

6023, 210, 4.63

Notes: From Suwanee, GA. Played in 9 games as a true freshman in 2014, catching 5 passes for 45 yards. Started all 12 games, playing primarily in the slot, and caught 27-326-4 in 2015. Missed all but 1 game with torn ankle ligaments that required surgery in 2016. Suffered a separated shoulder injury that required surgery in the spring before returning to play in 11 games and caught 11-89. Suffered a groin injury during the 2018 season, once again limiting his effectiveness.

Positives: Fine size and hands. Capable of competing for the ball and making tough catches. Long arms, good catch radius, and adjusts to the ball well. Uses his size to shield defenders well. Runs good routes. Praised by coaches for his work ethic.

Negatives: Injuries and overall productivity have not matched potential to this point.

Summary: Reliable target and possession receiver with some upside if he can avoid injuries.
