Idk why people keep saying that.
But he hasn't had a single good game since he's been at Miami.
It's crazy talk. The wide receivers he covered against FSU last year and UF this year underperformed, so people attribute that to Brown. He rightly deserves some credit. But anyone who think that translates into him being a lock down Nickel is extrapolating into the "hope" realm, not based on any real science.
Brown may turn out to be really good with more reps. But you cannot rely on that. TBH, OJF got torched vs Cuse, where he hadn't really been challenged the entire season prior to that. That's now on tape. So I wonder if he's going to take a step back next season.
IMHO, there are no sure-fire top ACC DBs on this team, across both S and CB. I'd be looking for 5 guys, 1 elite guy cover safety, 1 each spot, and 3 other proven starters. You need 7 starters for 5 spots to cover any injuries or boneheadedness. We've got "maybe" two on roster.
