How much did his NFL stock rise after that bowl performance? Does anyone consider drafting him?

He provided some memorable moments. Examples: In 2016 at Kent breaking away for a long TD run in a narrow 14-10 Ohio win. Rolling up 200 or so yards in 2016 in the 31-26 win at Toledo. Another big game in the 2017 home romp against Toledo and then of course his eye-popping performance against UAB.

Each year I see some terrific college RBs who don't get much of a chance - or any at all - in the NFL. Sometimes it must get down to an nth of a second in the 40 or just not quite elusive or strong enough. It would be nice of Brown got a chance.

I have a friend who's son is a tight end in the NFL.

I know when he was trying to get drafted,"durability" was a big concern.
In his case he had an issue with a damaged knee.

I would think there would be similar importance placed on a running back.

Maybe the success of Kareem Hunt helps him out?

He might get invited to a camp as an UFA, but he has zero chance of getting drafted. That's not a knock on his potential - it's just a fact.

As I recall he's a very good student with a high GPA in a technical field -- computer science? He's got a lot of good options that don't involve football, though it would be nice to see him get a chance at the NFL, if he wants it.

Voncarie Owens and Ryan Boykin got their NFL shots, they both worked out well. It will come down to what the coaches say and how well he works out. If he is a 4.4 flat guy, he will be in somebodies camp. He will have to prove that he can catch and hold on to the ball. Go Dorian, Go Cats.

The irony is that Dorian is one of the best backs we've had in a while and he didn't even start.
