2027 NFL Draft Summer Scouting Report: Isaac Brown, RB, Louisville
Summer is here, sort of, and it is everyone’s favorite time of the year, scouting time. Every year, we do Summer Scouting to preview college football for Bucs fans, but also give them an idea of names to follow and watch in the fall as needs pop up for Tampa Bay.
Are we going to write about quarterbacks? Offensive tackles? Edge rushers? You know it, but why? Because other NFL teams will draft them, just as they will draft every other position. It all matters whether these players end up on the Bucs, the Bears, or the Steelers. We write these so Bucs fans can be the most informed fans.
So if you are still with us, enjoy our latest Summer Scouting report as we prepare you for the Fall.

Cutback ability is in the top tier of the class
Keep legs moving through contact and in piles to pick up extra yards
This running back class is not getting the respect it deserves. Isaac Brown is another player who could be drafted on day one by a team and become an impact player for whoever lands him. He uses his vision to navigate in short yardage situations, but when forced to run through defenders, he does that as well. In space, he showcases excellent cutback ability and nimbleness to make defenders miss. On top of it all, he is a homerun threat as he has the motor to finish big runs later in the game.
