Arizona Wildcats receiver Shun Brown to participate in NFLPA Collegiate Bowl

Arizona Wildcats receiver/return specialist Shun Brown is scheduled to participate in the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl on Jan. 19 at the Rose Bowl.

Brown is the second UA player invited to a showcase game for pro scouts, joining fellow receiver Shawn Poindexter, who’s slated to participate in the East-West Shrine Game.

Brown is undersized at 5-9, 177 pounds but has return-game skills that could help him land on an NFL roster.

Brown notched career highs with 64 catches for 655 yards last season. He also scored six touchdowns. He finished his UA career with 140 receptions, 1,773 yards and 15 TDs.
