Running Back Rank: #13
Overall: #17
Brown recovered pretty well from a major knee injury. He played in every game and finished with just shy of 1,000-rushing yards. He had double-digit carries in all but two games and scored a career high 10 touchdowns. Brown also had a passing touchdown, his first of his career. The Dolphins ran a wildcat formation throughout the season, giving Brown the freedom to throw or run. He should be in even better shape a year removed from knee surgery. Brown is a pretty big back with plus speed and big-play ability. He also is a very good receiver, catching at least 32 passes in every season of his career.

Brown can build on last season. The Dolphins offense is improving and the run game is a big part of the what they do well. He will lose some carries to Ricky Williams, but Brown gets most of the work for the Dolphins, which is a plus for fantasy teams. He'll finish with 1,400 or so total yards and around double-digit touchdowns. He is a good pick in the late first or early second round of drafts. |

'I would like it because it would be one less thing for everybody to have to worry about,'' Brown said. Brown would be a free agent next spring if there is a labor agreement reached by February. Otherwise, he is signed through 2010. |

'He's worked hard. When we came to camp, he was in better condition. He could run longer. He was stronger. I just knew he was going to be in position to do well this year.' |

| Dave Hyde, of The Sun-Sentinel, reports Miami Dolphins RB Ronnie Brown thought his surgically repaired knee was healthy all of last season. However, after the year, he watched tape of himself and said he could see he wasn't 100 percent healthy. 'I feel right now I'm more explosive right now in the things I'm doing. I watched (last year's plays) and thought there's more I could've done,' Brown said. Brown is entering the final year of his contract and the Dolphins have invested a lot into their offensive line, so this could be the season he finally is ready to stand out. Head coach Tony Sparano has challenged Brown to break more long runs this year, and Brown said that is one of his goals. |
