Early injuries\u2014including shoulder and biceps issues\u2014slowed his start and forced a redshirt season.<\/p>\n<p>Over the next two years, he worked into the rotation, appearing in all seven games of the team\u2019s shortened 2020 campaign. He logged snaps in all 13 games in 2021 while also earning Academic All-Big Ten honors. In 2022, he started three of six games before an internal incident led to his dismissal and a decision to hit the transfer portal.<\/p>\n<p>The move to Kansas proved to be a turning point. Brown saw only limited action in 2023, but by 2024 he had established himself as the Jayhawks\u2019 starting right tackle. That season, he started 11 of 12 games and anchored a line that became one of the Big 12\u2019s best units, paving the way for 211 rushing yards per game. Brown\u2019s play earned him Second-Team All-Big 12 honors and an honorable mention for Big 12 Offensive Lineman of the Year.<\/p>\n<p>Brown\u2019s athletic profile is what kept scouts intrigued. At 6-foot-6 and 311 pounds with nearly 34-inch arms, he tested extremely well at the combine: He ran a 5.18-second 40, had a 32-inch vertical, 26 bench reps and a 9.4-plus Relative Athletic Score (RAS). He didn\u2019t allow a sack in 409 pass-blocking snaps in 2024, per PFF, showing the kind of foot speed and recovery ability that can translate to the NFL.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Why Should the Packers Sign OL Logan Brown?<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Logan Brown is a OT prospect in the 2025 draft class. He scored an unofficial  9.45 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/RAS?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#RAS<\/a> out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 78 out of 1395 OT from 1987 to 2025. <\/p>\n<p>Splits projected, times unofficial.

Depth along the offensive line has already been tested this summer, and the front office has a long track record of targeting athletic linemen who can play in Matt LaFleur\u2019s zone-heavy scheme. Brown\u2019s mobility and length mirror what Green Bay looks for in swing tackles, giving Luke Butkus and Adam Stenavich a raw but moldable prospect to develop behind Zach Tom and Rasheed Walker.<\/p>\n<p>Brown also represents the kind of low-cost, high-upside bet Green Bay likes to take. He\u2019s only 24, comes with pedigree as a former five-star recruit and has proven he can adapt and rebound after setbacks. With the Packers historically unafraid to mine the cutdown market for long-term projects, Brown could slot onto the practice squad or the back end of the roster and grow into a reliable swing option.<\/p>\n<p>A fresh start in Green Bay could be just the opportunity he needs.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Get the latest on OL Logan Brown.
