Tim Brown
A nine time Pro Bowl selection, Tim Brown is considered one of the best Wide Receivers in the history of the National Football League.
At Notre Dame, he first made a name for himself during his junior year as a flanker when he played a pivotal role for the Irish in their come from behind win to upset USC at the end of the 1986 season.
He won the Heisman Trophy in 1987 after a stellar senior season and earned himself a reputation as the most dangerous player in college football despite constantly facing double and triple coverage.
Brown was able to utilize his ability as a pass receiver, rusher out of a full-house backfield, and punt and kickoff return man to rank third nationally in all-purpose yardage as a junior (176.5 per game) and sixth as a senior (167.9). He finished his career as Notre Dame's all-time leader in receiving yards (2,493), kickoff return yards (1,613), and all-purpose yards (5,024.)
Drafted as the sixth overall choice in the 1988 NFL Draft by the Los Angeles Raiders, Brown continued to make an impact in the Pros. In his 16 year NFL career (15 of which were spent with the Raiders), Brown put up record numbers.
He holds the NFL record for most combined yards as a rookie with 2,317. He still holds the Raiders’ record for most touchdowns scored (100 total, 99 receiving), total receiving yards (14,734 yards on 1,070 receptions), and yards off punt returns (3,272 yards on 320 returns.)
Brown played one season for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but signed a one-day contract with the Raiders after the 2004 season so that he could retire in the Silver and Black. In the one contest he played as a Buc versus his old team, Brown caught his 100th pass for a touchdown, tying him with Steve Largent for 3rd on the NFL’s all time receiving touchdown list.
Despite having retired from the game of football, Tim Brown continues to be a fan favorite among Raiders and fans of the game. Tim enjoys his time as co-hosts for FOX Football Preview Show on Friday Nights, Comcast Football Analyst on Wednesdays and has recently become the first minority owner of a NASCAR team with Rousch racing in an attempt to draw more diversity to the sport.
A gentleman on and off the field, Brown truly sets an example for all of those who played along side him and those who have taken the field after him.
