He was saying that while he may not be the most athletic guy as his combine numbers suggest, he considers Brown to be an elite player on the field. He talked about how he's physically able to handle just about anybody, and how especially in the run game he's an absolute brawler. He may be the best run blocker in the draft.

Now I know the 14 reps doesn't make a lot of sense, but he's football strong. His head coach even compared him to a guy who was a workout warrior and could bench just about anything, but when you put him out of the field his game doesn't translate. He's saying Brown is the opposite where even though he didn't test well, when you put him on the field he's going to man handle defenders. 

That said, he did keep going back to his ability to tackle which may suggest he might not make the switch to G all that easily. He projects to be an immediate starter at RT in the NFL.

His overall size was the dominating factor in college. I am sure if you have played football before there is always that teammate that is much larger than everyone else, slow as molasses, and unathletic as hell... but when he gets his hands on you it's over. That is Brown in college. He has a chance to be good in the NFL no doubt, but seeing him show up with man [BLEEP] and basically didn't care at all is disappointing. No need for lazy players on this team.
