POSITIVES

— Good lateral movement skills in press. Does a very good job of using his hands and keeping his position, making it hard for receivers to work downfield.

— Best when not threatened deep. Is able to play from being flat-footed or a slow backpedal where he can quickly break forward.

— Aggressive defender when identifying screens and the run. Shows physicality when taking on blocks.

NEGATIVES

— Above-average speed helps him do a good job with short or crossing routes, but he lacks the top-end speed to run downfield. Often allows separation to some faster receivers.

— Slower transitions in off coverage. Jumps into breaks and shows some wasted steps out of breaks.

— Panics at times with the ball in the air. Struggles to get head around and locate the ball. Can get disconnected and allow separation downfield.

OVERALL

Jarvis Brownlee Jr. is a scrappy defender with multiple seasons of starting experience. Brownlee started at cornerback for Florida State in 2021 before transferring to Louisville in 2022. He has shown the ability to play both outside and as a slot defender.

Brownlee lacks the ideal length and size to be an outside cornerback, but he has the aggressiveness and tenacity to compete. Best as a zone defender, he does a great job of playing with leverage and route recognition. His vision and awareness are his top skill sets, which help him play the quarterback's eyes and react to the ball in air.

Brownlee does a very good job of showing off his lateral movement in press coverage, where he is quick to get in position and uses his hands to control and make it difficult for receivers to work downfield. When in off coverage, he often shows slow and choppy transitions with his footwork. Brownlee lacks the top-end and recovery speed to carry receivers deep.

Brownlee is an ultra-aggressive run defender who quickly triggers to what he sees and uses his hands to take on blocks. His lack of size makes it difficult for him to disengage from blocks at times, though. He does a good job of closing the ground and striking ball-carriers, although he is inconsistent with his tackle security.

Brownlee has plenty of collegiate experience, but he lacks the ideal size and speed for a starting NFL cornerback. He projects as a late-round prospect who will likely be a backup throughout this NFL career, although he has shown the ability to be a nickel corner.
