From his 2014 draft profile:Don't recall "lack of conditioning" as a knock on him. What's the evidence Dante hasn't made sure he's in good shape? Seems to me that Brown didn't run out of gas in game one.
Has stiff knees and butt rides high pre-snap in stance. Will take poor angles when teams try him in the gaps. If beaten, doesn't have the athleticism to recover. Power-only player and limits what an offense can do. Scouts call him an "inconsistent worker." Needs players to be squared up and will struggle when they get to his edge. Played just 43 percent of the snaps during 2014 season due to injury and conditioning issues.
BOTTOM LINE
Brown has the pure size to block out the sun, and unlike some players with his bulk, he knows how to use it. He can plow holes as a run blocker, but can only play right guard in a power scheme. His lack of playing experience and conditioning concerns could hurt his draft stock.
From last spring, in an article recounting the Niners decision to draft a tackle at #9 overall:
But perhaps the biggest issue with Brown is that he reportedly came to Mini Camp overweight and out of shape. His conditioning issues are no secret and if he’s showing up like this in a contract year, that doesn’t bode well for his chances of being a part of the long-term plans of the 49ers.
Unless you are insinuating that perhaps conditioning hasn't been an issue since he came to NE?
