Ourlads' Profile:

2021 Guide: What Ourlads' NFL Scouting Services said about EARNEST BROWN IV: Northwestern, 6044 270 4.91. One-year starter, Aubrey, TX. Started all nine games in 2020 and played in 40 games total over four years. An ascending player who started to come on the last four games of the year where he was injury free for the first time in his career. Has the prototypical arm length and angular frame for a left 4-3 or a 3-4 defensive end. Flashes strength against double teams and is quick enough to get into the pass rush lanes. Gets his hands up when stalemated at the line and gets in the throwing lane. Good awareness. Can hold his ground, set the edge, and keep his outside arm free. A good athlete who can run and take good cross field pursuit angles. Stays on his feet. Plays with functional strength. Uses his hands well to control and separate from a blocker. Keeps working throughout the play. Breaks on quick passes and runs to the ball. Has the footwork to move and disengage himself from a block. Demonstrates effort on long and short pursuit. Durability is a question. Pro day numbers: 31/VJ, 9-7/BJ, 4.50/SS, 7.19/3 cone. 2020 stats: 32 T, 8.5 TFL, 1 sack, 4 PBU, 3 QBH. Sixth/seventh round. (A-34 1/2, H-9 3/4, BP-25, 10-1.75).
