Though a comprehensive evaluation of Brown’s game might not yet exit, Cortez believes he was able to evaluate him in other ways.
“It is not just on the field stuff,” he said. “We’re in the meetings and you can tell by how they talk about things, how they ask questions what their level of understanding is and you can assess their progress along those lines.”
What encouraged Cortez about Brown’s future from the outset was his willingness to put in the extra time from the moment he first arrived at One Bills Drive.
“When we were done with OTAs the rookies were here a little while longer and he called me at home and we got together a couple of times,” said Cortez. “He wants to do well and he has a good understanding, but like anything else he has his eureka moments too where he’s saying, ‘Oh that’s why we do it that way.’”
One of Brown’s biggest adjustments to the pro game was taking snaps from under center after working exclusively out of the shotgun in Troy University’s spread system.
“He made a lot of strides there, but sometimes he’s not really smooth and more mechanical with it,” said Cortez. “It’s just something he has to continue to do and I hope it’s something he’s been working on by himself this offseason.”
