NFL Combine: OU’s Brown desires heavy load

Chris Brown says he can carry the load at running back. Not that he ever has. Or not that most NFL teams want a full-load tailback. Not even Adrian Peterson’s employer relies on a single-back system.

“I’ve always shared time,” Brown said of his Oklahoma days, when he backed up Adrian Peterson and shared time with Allen Patrick and DeMarco Murray.

“It’s always sub, sub, sub, sub. In, out. In, out. Complementary back, that’s what people think of me. My plan is to prove people wrong.”

Brown measured in at 5-103/4, 210 pounds. He’s projected as a middle- to late-round pick.

“I’m just hoping to open someone’s eyes,” Brown said. “Showcase my ability. I think I’m prepared for it. It’s a big challenge.”
