Dyami Brown is known as a deep threat. In Washington, he’s ready to prove he’s much more.

Before the first game of Brown’s senior year, Long said, laughing, he didn’t have cleats. For some reason, they hadn’t come in yet, so Long let Brown wear a pair of his, which were Tennessee burnt orange and size 13, one size larger than Brown’s feet. Even though Brown looked uncomfortable, Long remembered he balled out against rival Vance High. He made a highlight-reel catch on a contested deep ball that foretold his success in Chapel Hill.
