Philadelphia Eagles

[edit]

Brown was a second round draft pick of the 2002 NFL draft out of the University of South Carolina by the Philadelphia Eagles.[5] Known for his hard hitting, he earned additional attention during 2006 NFC Divisional Playoff Game against the New Orleans Saints, when he prevented running back Reggie Bush from catching a pass, by delivering a massive, blind-sided hit, which he dislodged the pass and knocked Bush to the ground for some time. This hit was chosen by a number of football analysts as the hit of the year, and Bush later called it the hardest hit he ever took.[6]

Brown has returned six touchdowns in his career, from four interceptions and two fumbles. He had a 40-yard touchdown return from an interception during Week 4 against the Kansas City Chiefs of the 2005 season and an 80-yard touchdown return from a fumble during Week 5 against the Dallas Cowboys of the 2005 season. Brown had a 70-yard touchdown return from an interception during Week 10 against the Washington Redskins of the 2006 season. Brown had an 83-yard touchdown return from an interception off of a pass from Chris Redman during Week 12 against the Atlanta Falcons of the 2009 season. Brown had a 60-yard fumble return for touchdown during Week 14 against the New York Giants of the 2009 season.

Cleveland Browns
