Illinois’ one-cut, workhorse RB who wore defenses down
In the 2022 season, Chase Brown was a national feature back for Illinois, leading the country with 1,643 rushing yards and piling up 10 rushing touchdowns while also adding 27 catches for 240 yards, which screams “feed me and let me cook.” His calling card is decisive, downhill running with real burst, plus enough receiving skill to stay on the field on all three downs. Evaluators praised his tackle-breaking, second-half stamina, and no-hesitation style, making him a fit for teams that want a physical, versatile back who brings attitude with the production.
