Then, his freshman year, he played 11 games on defense. Within two years, he was named first team All-Missouri Valley Conference on the strength of 71 tackles, three forced fumbles, and three interceptions. During his senior season, he was again named first team all conference and third team all American.He has the right size and build, as well as speed (4.51 40 yd), to be a very effective CB at the pro level, particularly if he can find a way to increase his aggressiveness with receivers. Brown crushed the combine, and has seen his stock rise precipitously over the course of the last month or so, with whispers that he could go within the top 100 picks.StrengthsFastGreat athletic abilityGood hands Clinton Portis Jersey , former WRStrong instinctsClosing skillsGood sizeWeaknessesNeeds more fireShort armsLack of assertivenessNot great in run supportLet’s see his workHow He Would Fit On The RedskinsThe Redskins already have one wide receiver successfully turned cornerback on the team - Quinton Dunbar.Jordan Brown could be a soft-handed bookend to Dunbar who could eventually be groomed to replace the overpriced and underwhelming Josh Norman in the Redskins’ secondary.Initial reports indicate that Brown has the capability to start as a slotnickel corner, with a strength in zone coverage.

Hogs Haven takes a look at 2019 NFL Draft prospects that could contribute to the Redskins"Ryan Davis, WRSchool: Auburn | Conference: SECCollege Experience: Senior | Age: 22?Height / Weight: 5-9 / 189 lbsProjected Draft Status: 6th Round to UDFANFL Comparison: Trent TaylorCollege StatisticsPlayer OverviewRyan Davis was a 4-star prospect and high school quarterback when he committed to the Tigers over the Florida Gators on National Signing Day back in 2015. Davis was considered the heart of Auburn’s offense during his time there and though his numbers may seem pedestrian on paper he is actually Auburn’s all time leader in receptions (178). Davis has spend this draft process trying to answer questions about his size and perception that he only knows how to run short routes and is limited in that area. Davis has had impressive performances both at the East West Shrine game earlier this year and at the NFL Combine last week or so. He has been showing off is route running there proving not only is he capable of running a more robust route tree but he is also able to be a weapon on more than just short passes. While I’m sure Davis will make his living as a wide receiver and special teams contributor at the next level it is worth mentioning how his high school experience at QB has translated to the field. Davis was often named the emergency option at QB at Auburn and they even called his number to throw a few touchdowns on trick plays. Additionally his experience reading a defense has translated somewhat as he seems to know when and where to find holes in coverage as a receiver. Davis will continue to try and prove he is an all around receiver during this process and he firmly believes he has a place in the NFL and can be a big contributor for the team that takes a chance on him.StrengthsDecent size, good athleticism, shiftiness, and route running ability.Davis has been a security blanket in the Auburn offense through his career. He shows reliable hands and flashed with some big time plays. He mainly operated in the short/quick pass game but showed good athleticism and elusiveness to gain yards after the catch. Has shown that he can handle a heavy workload as well.At Auburn he mainly ran flats, curls, crossers, and outs. During the this draft process he showed he could run more intermediate and deep stuff with varying complexity. Has demonstrated that he has the ability to learn quickly and can execute well as a route runner. Competitive and surprisingly effective as a blocker. Unselfish player and has played his part and done whatever the coaches have asked of him.Has added versatility on special teams as a returner. WeaknessesAthleticism tested below ideal marks. I’m only including this because the numbers are there I think there is not thing wrong with his speed, quickness, or athleticism on the field overall generally speaking.Specifically speaking he does not have special ability regarding acceleration or burst off the LOS or down the field. Effective out of the slot but somewhat limited in consistent big play ability because of those factors. Concerns about his size and injury history. He’s had at least one concussion that has knocked him out of a game and sustained a shoulder injury. His medicals came back clear to my knowledge but there is the question of if his body as it is now can withstand a lot of punishment. Let’s see his work:More Ryan Davis videosHow He Would Fit On The RedskinsI think Davis is a solid late round option who can come in and compete for getting snaps at slot WR. He’s accomplished a lot in his career and has had a good draft process so far. He is a good example that you can’t always look at the stats and judge the aptitude or potential of a player. He disappointed with his test results athletically but I stand by my assessment that I see more than those numbers when the game is actually being played. With coaching and consistent development I don’t rule out Davis being able to get significant playing time before his rookie contract is up with this team. I think Trey Quinn would edge out Davis for a starting gig right now because of his size and experience but I think they both share a lot of the same qualities that make them appealing in the slot. I wouldn’t rule out the possibility of Davis becoming the WR4 sooner rather than later looking at the current depth chart and being on the field at the same time as Quinn either. The big questions for Davis are if he can remain healthy, maybe he could gain a few pounds and that might help him withstand some of those big hits he’s taken. In the meantime Davis could also compete for reps at punt and kick returner and provide depth at the slot position. Davis didn’t run the 40 at the combine. We’ll have to refer to his pro day to get that number if he posts a good time he’ll rise up boards a bit.
