[edit] Professional career
Brown was a second round draft pick of the 2002 NFL Draft out of the University of South Carolina. He earned additional attention during 2006 NFC Divisional Playoff Game against the New Orleans Saints, when he prevented 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.[2]
