Jarod Brown-K-Old Dominion

Interesting kicking prospect with quite a penchant for successful on-side kicks. Has knocked in a few from 50+ in college. Would be worth a look as a UDFA certainly. He's like the Jared Lorenzen of kickers, kind of a bigger, rotund guy but has been very effective. In Brown's four seasons as kicker, ODU recovered 10 of his onside attempts. He hit bunt kicks that he recovered himself, pooches that his teammates ran under, traditional onside kicks late in games and surprise ones that caught his opponent off guard. Last year, in a 59-58 win over the Citadel, Brown converted back-to-back onside kicks in the second half as ODU erased an early two-touchdown deficit. "I don't know the exact number that I got, but I know my percentage for recovered onside kicks was really high," Brown said. "I think I recovered on my own at least eight of the middle bunt kicks, and then doing the same one, having other guys recover it. We had other ones where I would chip it right over the first line of the kick-return team right into a guy's hands, or land it right on the ground, give us a chance with it. Basically, I would say probably about 80% of the time we got them back." A non-combine invite, Brown is not just a trick-shot artist who specializes in onside kicks. In 2012, he set an FCS record for most extra points made in a season without a miss (73), and his 54-yarder against Pitt last year came in wet, windy conditions at one of the trickiest stadiums for NFL players to kick. Brown made just 13 of 20 field goals last year, but four of his misses were from 50-plus yards, including two more 54-yard attempts at Heinz Field (one was wide right, one just short). http://www.freep.com/article/20140429/SPORTS01/304290022

I agree. That's why I said Brown is a potential UDFA.

Don't see him being an NFL kicker. Brown was 13-20 in FGA in 2013.

5-7 20yds-29yds
5-5 30yds-39yds
1-2 40yds-49yds
2-6 50+

Touchback % was less than 50% (34 TB in 84 ATT) and he kicked 5 OB.
