49ers will interview Ole Miss WR A.J. Brown at the NFL Scouting Combine

Ole Miss wide receiver A.J. Brown is scheduled to have a 15-minute interview with the San Francisco 49ers on Friday, according to a report from The Athletic. Each NFL team is allowed to conduct 60 player interviews in 15-minute intervals during the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis.

Brown set a school record for receiving yards in a single game (233) during the first game of his sophomore year in 2017. He finished each of his final two seasons with the Rebels surpassing 1,200 receiving yards.

Brown led the team in receiving as a junior in 2018 and finished the year with 85 receptions for 1,320 yards with six touchdowns. He was named first-team All-SEC for the second consecutive year.

Lance Zierlein of NFL.com, who compares Brown to JuJu Smith-Schuster, wrote the following about Brown within his scouting report:

"Slot bully with rare combination of brawn and quickness that allows him to separate with both power and foot quickness. Brown has the size and demeanor to take on a relatively heavy workload as a safety blanket for a young quarterback in a ball-control passing attack. He'll see an upgrade in athlete across from him, but he has the feet and body control to uncover and create windows as a premium route-runner."
