Andre Brown, NC StateMeasurables:
Combine height: 6-0 1/8
Combine weight: 224 pounds
Combine 40 time: 4.49 seconds

Stats:
Lightly used at North Carolina State, Brown carried a career-high 175 times for 767 yards (4.4 yards per carry) as a senior, with seven touchdowns. He added 29 receptions for 309 yards and two scores. For his Wolfpack career, Brown carried 523 times for 2,539 yards (5.1 yards per carry) and 22 touchdowns, with 70 catches for 631 yards and two touchdowns.

Skill Set:
Brown is a good straight-ahead runner; though he runs somewhat upright, he lowers his pads and keeps his legs and feet moving to pick up additional yards after contact. He’s nimble, but he’s far more apt to run over a defender than he is to make him miss. Scouts are concerned that he will hesitate and dance in the backfield when a hole isn’t immediately evident; he’s most effective when he plants and goes and would be a good fit in a zone-blocking, one-cut scheme.
