Darrell Brown brings return-game juice and reliable slot-production upside for Old Dominion
Darrell Brown’s calling card at Old Dominion has been his explosive punt-return value: he finished his ODU career with 56 punt returns for 504 yards, while also adding 22 career catches for 224 yards and no touchdowns in his documented seasons[1][12]. In the 2019 season, he averaged 9.6 yards per punt return and posted a 48-yard long, and ODU notes also highlight his four-catch, 64-yard career-best receiving outing at UAB, showing he can provide hidden yardage plus just-enough WR production when asked[1][15]. The fit? A spark-plug, not a volume hog—use him for field position, toughness, and opportunistic chain-moving snaps[1][15].
