Zabien Brown a Top Performer at All-American Bowl
While Zay Mincey looked to be the most gifted cornerback at the All-American Bowl, his fellow Alabama signee Zabien Brown made a case as the most technical cover man. Brown, who starred at SoCal powerhouse Mater Dei, came to San Antonio with an easily recognizable polish in coverage. He was the On3 MVP on Day 3 of practice, turning in a very strong showing in 1-on-1’s and 7-on-7. At 6-foot-1, 180 pounds, Brown has good stature and length. He operates in a controlled and coordinated manner and rarely found himself out of position throughout the week. We saw the Crimson Tide signee get his hands on several passes in practice and he made a few plays in coverage during Saturday’s game, as well. He had no trouble adjusting to the speed of the top wide receivers on hand. The technical acuity and experience along with his good size points to a high floor and a prospect who could push for early playing time at the college level if necessary.
