OL Trenton Brown, Future Hall Of Fame Right Tackle | Page 423

Trenton Brown Florida Gators Round 7 Pick 27, Overall Pick 244 by San Francisco 49ers Height 6-8 Weight 350 Arm Length 36 Hand Size 10 7/8 Notes by ESPN Scout´s Inc - He didn't play football until his junior year of high school - Massive frame with rare arm length and big hands - Massive and rarely gives ground - Wide frame and excellent length - Flashes strong punch - Flashes ability to generate above average initial surge - Bulldozer that flashes ability to generate excellent push - Flashes ability to get hands inside, press and steer defenders - Flashes willingness and ability to deliver kill shot when turns to help out in pass pro - Plays angry at times and tough to handle when he's aggressive ESPN´s Take Brown, at 6-8 and 350 pounds, is massive. He engulfs defensive tackles and flashes the ability to drive them off the ball in the run game, plus his rare arm length and wide frame make it tough to get around him in pass protection. NFL´s Take This pick is consistent with teams taking a chance on the measurables prospects late in the draft. San Francisco loves to win with their size and strength up front so he fits the mold of that unit. Local Media Interview Q: Are the 49ers looking at you more as a tackle or guard? A: A tackle. Q: Can you play both sides? A: Yes sir, I can.

What a douche.

"They traded me to a team that goes to a SB every year, that has the winningest QB in NFL history, a guy that gets rid of the ball so fast that it makes all of his OL better...MAN THEY TRIED TO DESTROY ME!"

I blasted him on that one myself and he's my dude. I can't speak to how this was all handled in-house but given how bitter he is, it didn't sound like it was amicable at all. Whatever fuels him though. But he needs to shut his mouth and be grateful either way.

It's a ubiquitous, perfunctory response in this current environment.

Current environment? I have no idea what that means.

Athletes have been leaning into imagined slights to motivate themselves for forever.

Heck, 20 years ago Shaq was running around telling anyone who would listen that David Robinson told him to f***k off when he asked for an autograph as a kid, and it was only much, much later that he admitted he made the whole thing up to motivate himself in his battles with Robinson.

"Current environment" has nothing to do with it.

If we were hoping to kill his career when we traded him, we wouldn't have traded him to ****ing New England lmao.

At least the 9ers gave him a chance, shoot, New England was the one that chose NOT to re-sign him.

I wonder if he's still salty. That trade got him a super bowl ring and a whole lot of money.

My thoughts exactly. He's being a b*tch for sure.

Thing is, his attitude has a bit of entitlement.... you know, that entitlement that may convince one to skip a workout because they're a bit tired or grab an extra burger because they had a rough day...

Not good when those are the issues that pushed him into the 7th in the first place and convinced the 49ers that him being a long term investment may not work out too well.

I wonder if he thinks going to the Raiders is an upgrade? NE realized what the Niners saw. Big body but limited in skill. Also a possible weight problem.

He was not worth the money he was demanding.

It will be interesting to watch his weight this year.

What the f**k is his beef? We traded him to the champs and he got a mega deal with all that exposure.

Did he just want to rot away here or something and sign a s**tty team friendly deal?

Considering he looks to be about 450, I get the feeling he is going to always be bitter that the niners constantly wanted him to lose weight to fit the scheme better.

Effectively on plays where pass-rush pressure is a significant factor - RT is the new LT.

Forget where the elite rushers are coming from, RT is protecting the QB's blindside more often.

You know how LTs get more $ than RTs because they protect the QB's 'blindside'?

If a QB is looking left, his right is his blindside.

What if i told you on straight drop 5+7-step passing plays last year the QB started working the left side of the field more than the right?

Not buying that.

Human Physiology currently still shows a hard slant to right handed humans.

As long as QBs are under center, the left side is going to be blind.

You as a 49er fan know FIRST HAND what happens to QBs that don't have the left side protected. You end up stuck with a 3 step offense.

Even the sample provided by Sam Monson, ignores 3 steps, because the VAST MAJORITY of passing plays start with a blind left side.

When you look at how our D-line is built, if we were to play Dee Ford and Bosa (If all the hype is real) on opposite sides of the D-line, then you would need two elite Tackles on either side of the ball in order to protect the QB, right?
