Before he would join the Rams “Fearsome Foursome”, he was already well established as a star Defensive Tackle with the Detroit Lions. Brown was a Pro Bowl Selection in each of his final five seasons with Detroit and would also be named to a pair of First Season All-Pros. Allegedly, Brown was the first player to weigh in at over 300 pounds, but he was not known as much for his size as he was for his agility.
Detroit selected Brown for the Pride of the Lions in 2018.
