Disappointing production and injuries marred Brown’s 2012 campaign and explain why he lost his starting job to Vick Ballard before midseason. When Brown was on the field, he rarely flashed his speed, averaging just 3.9 yards per carry. He also failed to break a run longer than 19 yards. Despite Brown’s good size (5-foot-10, 210 pounds), he isn’t powerful enough to run inside consistently. The former first-round pick (2009) is expected to hold down a change-of-pace role in 2013. After Brown lost his starting job, he still averaged 12.1 total touches per game but rarely caught passes.
