Overview, Film Analysis, And Early 2025 NFL Draft Scouting Report Of Kansas OL Logan Brown
Measurables:
- 6’6”
- 315 lbs
Player Background:
Logan Brown became a five-star offensive line recruit after playing football for the first time during his freshman year at East Kentwood High School in Michigan. The 2019 graduate redshirted his first season with Wisconsin and didn’t see any game action. He played in all seven games during the COVID-shortened 2020 season to just a 47.2 PFF grade. He played in all 13 games the following season as a backup, with a 68.8 PFF grade.
His 2022 season saw him play in just six games with three starts, and he continued to improve his grade to 69.2. He entered the portal after that season, ending up with Kansas as a four-star transfer OT. Brown was granted a redshirt in 2023 after appearing in the first two games of the season. He broke out heavily in his final collegiate season, posting an impressive 82.9 PFF grade in 619 offensive snaps.
Accolades:
- Second Team All-Big 12 (2024)
Strengths/Pros:
Logan Brown enters the NFL Draft as a patient and disciplined starter. He matches the footwork of outside pass rushers and counters at well-timed spots. He gets his arms engaged and positioned early to control edge defenders when they try the outside. His arms are incredibly strong, locking out successfully and legally preventing defenders from disengaging quickly. His early rotational knowledge is solid, using the initial contact to redirect defenders away from the play and minimize their impact potential.
His upper half is flexible enough to keep control when getting forcefully rotational and losing some leverage. Brown is a wildly aggressive block finisher, mauling defenders into the ground and taking no time to do so. He’s strong enough to maintain blocks when helping with one arm and staying within his base. He works well in multiple schemes and has the athleticism to adapt on the fly. His hand placement is often solid, and his overall frame is NFL-level without question.
Weaknesses/Cons:
Brown often gets to the second level quickly but looks too indecisive and confused when he gets there. His contact aggressiveness needs to be heavily increased as a swing blocker, and he has to be more aware of defenders around him in those situations as well. He lets secondary players rip through his off-side and crash into lanes without pushback. His lateral chop blocks are often too off-balanced and low and lack the force to pull them off successfully.
He doesn’t really kick-step, drifting his base and weight too far backward instead of letting his legs guide his power. Brown’s game needs work when sustaining blocks through multiple waves of pass-rush moves. He tries to protect against outside rushes too frequently, gets caught cheating at times, and is beaten by faster counters and inside rushes. He has little experience in complex offenses, making him susceptible to stunts and more nuanced pass-rush concepts.
Potential Team Fits:
NFL Projection:
Brown’s size and tools make him a plug-and-play candidate wherever he goes and there’s a clear path to improving his overall skill set. He could have some issues early on in NFL-level offenses requiring him to do much more than in college. He has the tools and an initial position to be a decent player from the time he gets into a locker room, and could be an adequate starter for a lengthy period of time.
