45. Troy Brown

Troy Brown played all of his 15 seasons (1993-2007) with the New England Patriots, and it was a career in which he always found unique ways to contribute.

Brown saw little action at Wide Receiver in his first two years, but he was their Punt Returner, providing yardage in that role. By 1997, Brown saw more action at Wide Receiver while still appearing as a returner.  In 2001, he had his lone 1,000 Yard year (1,119) and was a Pro Bowler for the first and only time in his career.  That year, Brown helped the Patriots win the Super Bowl, and would again win two more.

Brown accumulated 11,128 All-Purpose Yards over his career with New England, and he entered the Patriots Hall of Fame in 2012.
