Travis Brown (football player)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Travis Martin Brown (born July 17, 1977 in Phoenix, Arizona) is an American football quarterback playing for the Indianapolis Colts.

Travis played college football for Northern Arizona University. Travis was drafted by the Seattle Seahawks in 2000. Travis was traded to the Buffalo Bills in 2001 and played for the Bills during the 2001, 2002, and 2003 seasons.

While with the Seattle Seahawks, Travis played for 1 regular season game against the Oakland Raiders. At this game he made 1 pass attempt, which was incomplete. This game was won 27-24.

In 2001 with the Buffalo Bills he would make his first regular season start against the Miami Dolphins. Travis completed 15 passes for 201 yards and 1 touchdown, but it would not be enough to overcome Dolphins, who beat them 34-7. In 2003 Travis would play against the Miami Dolphins again, where he completed 3 out of 4 passes for 41 yards, and ran for 5 yards. His attempts would prove futile, as the Dolphins prevailed against him yet again, beating the Bills 20-3. Travis Brown would make his 2nd start the next game against the New England Patriots, throwing for 119 yards and being intercepted only once. The New England Patriots prevailed, however, by shutting them out and scoring 31 points of their own.

On August 28, 2004, Travis sprained his left knee against the Indianapolis Colts in the preseason. This caused Travis to reach an injury settlement with the Bills that September, which allowed him to be released into free agency. Travis Brown was signed by the Colts, who then released Joe Hamilton. Travis is currently the 3rd string Quarterback of the Indianapolis Colts behind Peyton Manning and Jim Sorgi.
