Baron Browning - Meyer connection

#1

I'm not suggesting we should draft him but keep an eye on this guy as a possible target.

Linebacker from Ohio State, was recruited by Urban Meyer (and pranked him telling him he was going to Alabama, Meyer made him pay back telling him he was going to the Rams). 

He hasn't had the production or the playing time he was hoping some years ago probably as he had different roles during his career at Ohio state which probably slowed his development quite a bit. You see some great plays on his film but it's hasn't been consistent enough from what I heard (haven't seen too many games so far). You can definitely see his athelticism.

Can play will, can play in the middle and can play outside linebacker (had a great pass rush rate in 2019 in his snaps there if I recall correctly). He was specifically told he could move to the outside at his pro day (Urban Meyer was there).
Very versatile which is what this defense should be all about.

Talking about his pro day: he had insane numbers at 6'3 - 245 lbs, an all time RAS of 9.98 with unofficial 4'51-4.53 (other sources say 4.56-4.59) and a very good 6.78 3-cone drill.

Seems like you are hearing his name more and more often. 

Like I said I haven't watched too much of him yet, only a couple of games but just giving an heads up on a guy there's a change Meyer could target.

If anyone knows more about him, feel free to add.

IMO, trying to turn a 4-3 OLB into a 3-4 OLB or 3-4 ILB is about as irresponsible as trying to turn a 3-4 OLB into a 3-4 DE.

Considering no face to face meetings or combine this year, it wouldn't be a shock to see them rely on Meyer's personal first hand knowledge of some of these players and draft 2-3 OSU players.
 

Worst to 1st.  Curse Reversed!

I haven't watched him, but the 2 for 1 draft pod loves him as a pass rush convert based on his freak athleticism, good pass rush tape reps, and awful instincts as a LB.

I'm not a fan of any of the Ohio State linebackers. I think they are all highly overrated.

It almost happened, Meyer really wanted him and was gone right before we had the next pick.
