Brown primarily fits into a Cover 2 or Cover 3 zone-heavy scheme that values fundamental backpedal and tackling.
As a rookie, Brown projects as a solid special teams contributor with the ability to develop into a starting boundary cornerback by Year 2 or 3.
His struggles in immediate press coverage and against complex route trees would be particularly exposed in a Man-Free or extensive man-to-man scheme.
Curtis Brown's size and tackling ability make him a valuable asset in zone schemes, despite limitations in pure man coverage and top-end speed.
Selected #95 overall in Round 3 of the 2011 NFL Draft by Pittsburgh Steelers out of Texas.
