Portsmouth - Brown was elected into the college football hall of fame for his
play at Maryland State...now the university of maryland eastern
shore. He led the hawks to the CIAA title in 1957 and was named
All-American in 1958 and 59.
Browns great play continued for 10 seaons in the NFL. At
6-4, 300 pounds, Brown was a ferocious defensive tackle for the
Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Rams. He earned 6 trips to the pro
bowl and this past season just missed out on being named to the Pro
Football Hall of Fame.
While that announcement will have to wait, Brown now sets his
sights on South Bend, Indiana for his July enshrinement.
