Another potential first round pick is throwing their name into the upcoming draft mix. Oklahoma left tackle Orlando Brown announced his intentions to forego his senior year and declare for the 2018 NFL Draft on his personal Twitter account tonight.
“After talking things over with my family and coaches, I will be declaring early for the NFL Draft. It’s been an amazing 4 years here. I wouldn’t want to be a part of any other university. Thank you Sooner Nation!!!”
Brown is listed at a large 6’8”, 345 lbs, which gives him a large presence when he is on the field. He’s also been durable throughout his college career, having starting 40 games in three seasons at Oklahoma. Brown was a unanimous first team All-American and was a finalist for the Outland Trophy in 2017. In addition, he was voted as the Big 12’s best offensive lineman from this past season.
Matt Miller of Bleacher Report ranked Borwn as his third-best offensive tackle in his November big board. Brown is likely to compete with other top offensive line prospects like Notre Dame’s Quenton Nelson and Mike McGlinchey, along Texas’ Connor Williams as projected first round picks come April.
Looks like we might get some good O Lineman in this draft if they live up to expectations. My 9ers really need to add to their line in either the draft or free agency so hopefully they are able to grab one of these guys.
This guy should end up in the draft right where Green Bay is and they shouldn’t give it a second thought (barring someone better slipping)
I hope somehow he falls enough for Seattle to pick him up. Heh..
#1 Tackle in the draft. Hope he falls to GB.
Someone get this kid glasses that fit his head FFS!
