Round 2, No. 37, OT Spencer Brown, Northern Iowa
Ensuring that quarterback Justin Herbert has the protection to prevent him from taking a beating is an absolute necessity. Left tackle Sam Tevi is set to be a free agent after this season and right tackle Bryan Bulaga, unfortunately, has dealt with injuries this year.
After starting 32 of 33 games for Northern Iowa, Brown decided to sit out of his final season due to the delay until the spring because of COVID-19. He accepted an invite to play in the Reese’s Senior Bowl, the most prestigious college All-Star game.
Towering at 6-foot-8 and 321 pounds, Brown has the combination of size, length and athleticism to thrive at the next level. The former tight end is a mirroring magician in pass protection and is an outstanding run blocker, overpowering defenders and creating run lanes.
