When you take that into account, his year isn't all that impressive. He was a WR that basically took snaps at RB some times. As a pure RB, Brown was one of if not the best in all three major categories, rushing, receiving, and blocking.

Either players should be allowed to line up in various ways within the rules and do things and have those successes accounted for and recognized....or players should not be allowed to do that if their broader achievements aren't supposed to count. This "we're gonna allow it but also hold it against you when it comes to recognition" bullshit needs to be gone yesterday.

It's the worst of all choices.

It gives the player a clear advantage in receiving yards by allowing them to run longer routes and there's no arguing that. He averages roughly 40% more yards per reception than the best receiving RB due to the routes he's allowed to run. One only has to look at Asipi, who is also a FB, to confirm that. As a rookie he has the 2nd most yards per reception of all RB/FBs. Because of that, my personal opinion is that FBs shouldn't be considered for RBotY. People seem to be glossing over the fact that I said he's a strong consideration for OPotY though.
