Zabien Brown, CB, Alabama
6-0, 194
I may have mentioned him already but I've just been taking another look. He's a true junior this year and while his coverage grades aren't exceptional so far (69.9 last season), he's a very strong run defending CB with an 85.0 grade last year. I always look for run defence grade with CBs because I figure they're more likely to start early in the NFL.
One thing I do like is that, unlike many CBs who excel at one scheme or the other, he's well balanced between man and zone. 70.3 man coverage grade, 67.6 zone coverage grade.
What struck me, if you watch the INT below, is that he has pretty long arms. another good sign.
He had two INTs on the year and both came at crucial times. The one above to prevent Georgia tying the game in the final minute, and a 99 yd Int return in the final seconds of the half against Tennessee that changed an almost tied game at the half to a 16 point Alabama lead.
