More importantly, NFL cornerbacks will tell you that Brown’s greatest trait is his uncanny sense for getting away with push-offs and grabs. He doesn’t just know when to contact defenders, but also how. If you’re covering Brown one-on-one, you’re liable to have your collar gripped, your jersey tugged and your arm locked. Brown runs routes with the kinetic genius of an MMA fighter who understands trigger points. He knows at what spot in his route officials can’t see these tricks, and the tricks are impossible for a defender to prepare for since they’re often too subtle to see on film. This craftiness transcends physical aptitude, suggesting that when Brown’s feet do slow down and his ability to separate declines, he’ll still have a strong capacity for making contested catches. He should remain productive for the next three years.
