What does everyone think of DeAndre Brown...WR Southern Miss?

Let me start this off by saying, I do not know much about who's who in college besides the obvious guys. I hear a name.....try to watch as much unbiased video as I can and make up my mind. That said, DeAndre Brown was recently brought to my attention. I have no clue what round the "experts" have him slated to go, but I like the situation for us.

He has gotten leg injuries (shin, broken leg) each of the last 2 seasons. He absolutely killed it his freshman year.....he is currently listed at 6'6" and 239lbs. His 40 time is 4.47s. I would think with the injuries....he may slide down the draft board to the 2nd or 3rd days of the draft. This guy could be the sleeper of the draft...at least at the WR position. I have watched some tape on him and I am going to avoid posting highlight reel footage for you guys. I am just looking for more info and opinions on him from people who follow college more than I do. I know with the leg injuries...and our current big WR with history of leg issues...this may be a scary thought for some. Neither leg injury involved any ligament or tendons...and he actually returned this year from the broken leg at the end of the season...and that 4.47 was ran Jan 3!
