In 2017 both Brown And Little were key pieces within the Phil Longo offense. Brown reeled in 75 grabs for 1,262 yards and 11 TDs and ended the season leading the SEC in receiving. Brown has proven to be very fast and sure-handed and can turn a 10 yard reception into 70 yard score. Because of his size he is very physical and can go up to get a ball. Brown is picked as Mel Kiper Jr’s No.1 underclass receiver prospect in the 2019 NFL Draft. AJ was selected as the No.26 player in the ESPN Top-50.
Greg Little was a one man wrecking crew in 2017 at offensive tackle and can block anybody. At 6’6 and 325 lbs he is a tough man to move thru on the line. Little is very good with his feet and hands and knows how to use his size and speed to his advantage in the toughest division in college football. Little is believed to go as high as No.4 in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft and makes the ESPN Top-50 at No.39.
