About Sean
Sean Brown was born in Uniondale, New York and graduated from Uniondale High School. Growing up he played every sport you could think of, but basketball was his first love. Bernard Brown, Sean’s father, would push him to try every sport and would even be his basketball coach growing up. Bernard was such a figure in his community that they would name the town park Bernard Brown Park. Sean credits his athletic ability from all the different things his father pushed him to try. In high school Sean continued to flourish as an athlete, playing on the varsity football, basketball and track and field teams.
After spending some time at Nassau Community College Brown would move all the way down to Mississippi Valley State University. He finished his junior and senior year there, and would get a degree in mass communications. During his time in Itta Bena, Brown played primarily at the offensive tackle position.
Brown’s first stop after Mississippi State Valley was the IFL where he would play for two seasons. In the Spring League, Brown spent his time playing center after Bryan Scott personally requested it due to their rapport. There was very little issue with the transition to center, and the Generals would go on to win the Spring League championship. Bryan Scott would take home the MVP of the league, and a large part of that was due to his great offensive line.
In order to prepare for the football season Sean has a relatively strict schedule of stretching, eating, and then hours of intense workouts. From roughly 1PM-5PM you can catch him at the gym working out with his longtime OL/Conditioning coach. By roughly 6PM he is already getting ready for the next day. Handling any emails, texts, or calls he had gotten while at the gym, and touching base with his agent Angelo Wright.
Strengths and Weaknesses
Strengths
You wouldn’t expect a 6’4, 325-pound guy to move and cover ground as well as Brown can. His fastest forty-time recorded at his 325-pound playing weight was a 4.99s. Sean’s 82 inch wingspan is a major advantage when engaging with his blocks. While I believe he would fit best as a guard in the NFL, his wingspan gives him the ability to be a swing tackle in case of emergencies. He is extremely versatile and has logged professional snaps at every position on the offensive line. There are many clips of Brown driving his defender back 10-yards off the line, or just tossing him into the ground.
When first talking with Sean it was clear he was focused and ready to do whatever it takes to become successful at the next level. He is someone that is great to have in the locker room. Brown has experience with a lot of different people, but not one of them has had a negative to say about Sean. His work ethic is something I believe can help motivate others around him
Weaknesses
I would like to see him get to the second level more consistently, and move with the ball carrier. Sometimes Brown will be so focused on winning his 1v1 battle with the man in front of him that he almost takes himself out of the play. Obviously it isn’t the worst trait in the world as an offensive lineman, but I would love to see him use that athleticism down the field.
Best NFL Fits
Kansas City Chiefs
The Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes are locked in for the next decade, which means they need to keep him upright as much as they can. Sean Brown’s pass blocking ability, mixed with his tendency to stick on his blocker, would be great for Kansas City’s offense. It lives and dies by a healthy and churring offensive line. We all know Mahomes makes magic happen and sometimes those plays require pass blocking for longer than usual. Kansas City’s offense runs off the ability to keep plays alive just long enough for that magic to work.
Dallas Cowboys
Everyone knows what happened to Dak Prescott this season, and how detrimental that was to their offense. While yes it was a freak accident, the fact of the matter is your franchise quarterback is now coming off a devastating lower leg injury. The Cowboys are stacked at wide receiver, and slowing down in the run game. All signs point towards Dallas’ offense to lean heavier and heavier towards the passing game. Adding a swing offensive lineman like Sean Brown gives the entire OL added depth.
New Orleans Saints
The New Orleans Saints are going to be running into a historically bad cap situation this offseason due to the pandemic. They are currently projected to be $94M OVER the cap space in 2021. This obviously means the Saints are going to have to do some major reworking of the roster, and then some, in order to fix that problem. The Saints offensive line already could use more depth to it, and now they will need to be doing so for cheap. Adding Sean Brown would make plenty of since in this situation given his versatility across the offensive line.
