2021 NFL Draft Prospect: Deonte Brown, OL, University of Alabama
Deonte Brown is one of the most underrated prospects in the 2021 NFL Draft. Brown has had a stellar career as an interior lineman for the Crimson Tide.
He has a ton of experience and provides a wealth of knowledge playing in 47 games and starting 25 games. He did miss some time in 2019 but started every game after that at right guard.
Brown has received All-SEC honors and is a physical presence for the Tide. Brown was one of the nations top offensive guards coming out of high school. He played in the Under Armour All-American game and was a four star prospect.
The Decatur, Alabama native is a mauler who stands at 6040 and weighs 350 pounds. He is a huge man to move and does a great job at creating holes for running back Najee Harris.
Many are talking about Alex Leatherwood and other players on Alabama but Brown is a big time sleeper. I think he will be a stud at the next level. He is a huge player and I would not be surprised if a team with a franchise quarterback of the future selects him in Round 2 or later.
