The Dolphins agreed to terms with free agent tight end Pharaoh Brown, adding another valuable blocking option to the offense. Brown has played most of his career as an attached Y tight end – aligning next to the offensive tackle – with a highlight reel full of exceptional blocks. He's added 751 receiving yards and three touchdowns over the course of a seven-year career.
Punishing blocker
If you didn't know any better based on the gameday program and his jersey number, it would be easy to confuse Pharoah Brown for an offensive lineman when he's called upon to block. He's a knockback candidate on every run-down rep with well-crafted technique and power at the point of attack, but his pass protection reel is equally impressive.
Last season alone, Brown scored pass protection wins against the likes of Tyquann Lewis, Azeez Ojulari, Kayvon Thibodeaux and Jaelan Phillips. His ability to sink into his anchor and hold up against the best edge rushers in football is not a common trait for a tight end.
