Salt Lake City — Former BYU offensive coordinator Brandon Doman, former NFL offensive lineman Hans Olsen, and Cougar Sports Saturday's Jason Shepherd preview two potential BYU NFL draft prospects, defensive end Ziggy Ansah and offensive tackle Braden Brown.

"He's humble and has a great desire to want to succeed. Coming from a walk on player to a scholarship guy, the sky is the limit for this kid and he took advantage of it." said Doman.

"He's going to be great." said Olsen, "He's not going to be as instantly great as Star Lotulelei... but he's got the upside to be as good a defensive rush edge as there's been."

Shepherd was at BYU Pro Day when dozens of NFL scouts paid particular attention to Ansah, "What they've seen, in the limited time he's been able to learn the game and play; he's picked things up so quickly."

BYU offensive tackle Braden Brown was recruited as a tight end, "If you watch his feet, you can see that he's very athletic, light on his feet, he's nimble and as he's gotten stronger he's turned out to be a pretty good player." said Doman.

You can watch the entire player breakdown with Doman and Olsen in the above video.
