Jammal Filbert Brown (born March 30, 1981) is an American football right tackle for the Washington Redskins of the National Football League (NFL). He was drafted by the New Orleans Saints in the first round of the 2005 NFL Draft. He played college football at Oklahoma.

Early years

Brown was born in Waxahachie, Texas. Brown attended MacArthur High School in Lawton, Oklahoma and was a letterman in football in the defensive lineman position. As a senior, he won All-State honors as a defensive lineman. Brown graduated from MacArthur High School in 2000.

College career

Jammal Brown was recruited by the Oklahoma Sooners as a defensive tackle. He was switched to offensive tackle in his sophomore year, and quickly blossomed, securing a starting spot as a sophomore, and winning the Outland Trophy as a senior in 2004 as the nation's most outstanding lineman. He was the anchor of an offensive line that paved the way for Adrian Peterson to set the record for most rushing yardage by a freshman in 2004. His contributions were invaluable in the Sooners winning the 2004 Big 12 Championship and he was a consensus All-America choice that season.

Professional career

2005 NFL Draft

Brown, while on the Saints, at the Alamodome, with Army Medical Center amputee patients.

Brown was regarded as one of the best offensive tackles available in the 2005 NFL Draft, and drew comparisons to Jordan Gross. He was selected by the New Orleans Saints with the 13th overall pick. Brown was the first Sooner offensive lineman taken in the draft since Stockar McDougle went to the Detroit Lions as the 20th overall pick in the 2000 NFL Draft. Remarkably, Brown was the highest selection among OU offensive lineman since Stan West was the No. 8 pick by the Los Angeles Rams in 1950.

New Orleans Saints

2005 Season - 2009 Season

He was selected to attend the 2006 Pro Bowl alongside the player he protects, quarterback Drew Brees, after anchoring the line that got the Saints to the NFC Championship Game. Brown's prototypical size at left tackle makes him good at both run and pass blocking. He led the league in rushing average behind left tackle while only allowing 3 sacks. He was again selected with Brees to participate in the 2008 Pro Bowl.

A torn ACL kept Brown out of action in 2009. The emergence of Jermon Bushrod in his absence resulted in him losing his starting job and an eventual trade.

Washington Redskins

2010 Season - Present

Brown was traded to the Redskins on June 19, 2010 for a third or a fourth round pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, depending on which pick is sent to the Eagles as a part of the trade for quarterback, Donovan McNabb. Brown was made the starting right tackle of the offensive line.
