Deonte Brown was the reason Dickerson was moved to center in the middle of the season. After serving out the remainder of his suspension from an incident in 2018, Brown was eased back into action.

Once he got his footing, however, the massive (6-4, 338 pounds) interior lineman helped provide a boost to an offensive line that had struggled creating movement with consistency.

As powerful and impressive as Brown may be at this time, he could stand to lose a little weight while also adding some quickness to his game. If he can do that, Brown could emerge as a potential Day 2 pick in 2021.

What he should do? Stay.
