Early life and college career

Pro football career
Undrafted in 1998, Brown was a member of the Denver Broncos from 1998 to 2002, primarily as a member of the practice squad.[2][3] Brown won a ring as a member of the Broncos Super Bowl XXXIII championship team in 1998.[1]
In 1999, Brown was suspended for four games for violating the league's substance abuse policy.
