Brown was a four-year starter at offensive tackle for Pitt from 1991-94. Initially a defensive line prospect, he moved to offense as a redshirt freshman and would become a three-time All-Big East selection and, as a senior, earn first team All-America accolades. In the 1995 NFL Draft, Brown was selected in the first round (14th pick overall) by the Buffalo Bills. As an offensive guard, he was voted to eight consecutive Pro Bowls (1996-2003). Brown concluded his career by spending four seasons in Chicago (2004-07). In 2006, he was a vital contributor to the Bears' first Super Bowl berth in nearly two decades and was named to his ninth Pro Bowl. Brown was named to Buffalo's 50th Anniversary All-Time Team in 2009. He received enshrinement in the College Football Hall of Fame in 2015.
