Browne is a towering quarterback prospect behind the line of scrimmage. In his limited action at USC he displayed a calm pocket demeanor with nice touch on his passes. He is one of the real prospects who could catch fire or fall off the radar this up-coming season. Pitt offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Shawn Watson should serve as a great source for Browne to sharpen his quarterback skills. Browne is truly one of the more exciting prospects to watch in this season.

Browner awaits his shoulder to fully heal, so he can begin making all the throws he is capable of prior to his surgery last October. He did slow some passes during the Pitt Pro Day, and did agility drills in front of all 32 NFL teams.

Browne awaits his shoulder to fully heal, so he can begin making all the throws he is capable of prior to his surgery last October. He did slow some passes during the Pitt Pro Day, and did agility drills in front of all 32 NFL teams. A captain at both USC and Pitt and won the Weight Lifter of the Year, while with the Trojans.

His last full game at Pitt resulted in a perfect performance of 410 passing yards with four touchdown passes with a 87% completion percentage. The former five-star recruit has all the desired traits that NFL teams covet. He is that prototype-sized NFL quarterbacks with a strong arm. Browne can make all the throws with nice mechanics. Towers over the offensive line to see downfield and shows poise on the pocket.

Game Notes
Against YSU – Fantastic size, looks the part, feet where a little choppy, showed real nice touch on deep ball, it was incomplete but great touch and placement, best thing he did was escape pocket and pick up some yards via the run, overall has a ways to go, but shows the upside
