Dyami Brown has become a camp star but admits that he is still learning

Rookie wide reciever Dyami Brown has been a hype magnet dating back to the rookie minicamps in early May, and it has not stopped since. He’s been good; he’s meshed well with Washington’s quarterbacks, but as a rookie, you are learning a lot more than you could imagine, and Brown has acknowledged one aspect of the game he didn’t take into account coming into the league. The technical aspect of playing wideout has been something that Brown has focused on much more since joining the Washington Football Team:

I pretty much say just everything is very technical. That’s pretty much been the whole transition for me has been; everything has been technical. Whether I line up in the right spot or the depth of the route, everything is definitely technical and timing. It hasn’t been difficult, but it’s something that I’ve been working on a little bit more. – Receiver Dyami Brown, August 8, presser with WFT media.

According to head coach Ron Rivera, Brown has an excellent opportunity to become a big part of what Washington wants to do offensively this year. His skill set is good enough to where it not only benefits him and the relationship he has with the quarterback, but he will help get his teammates open with his speed and can help create more room in the ground game as well. 

You guys have seen the practice. I mean, he’s not just a deep ball, but catching those quick slants or darts and then sticking his foot in the ground to get vertical is pretty impressive. The threat of him going deep and so people tend to kind of loosen a little too much and you see him making those breaks on those digs coming across the middle. He’s got a skillset because of the speed, but I think it adds to his game a little bit more, which is going to help us. – Head Coach Ron Rivera, August 6th on rookie receiver Dyami Brown

Another aspect of the game that Brown is aware of at this early stage of his career is the mental component. Frustrations come with the game; however, Brown has been working on managing those frustrations and understanding that thinking about the previous play does no good for the team or himself. 

Brown is developing at his own pace, a good pace at that, and that’s what is most important for a player in his shoes. When the coaches, media, and fans are aware of the performance he’s showcasing on a daily basis, the only thing left for Brown to do is display it on gamedays. He can be a major contributor to Washington in ways that many may not have anticipated at the time he was drafted.
