Professional career
In the first round (26th overall) of the 2008 NFL Draft, Brown was chosen by the Houston Texans. After Eugene Chung in 1992, he was the second Virginia Tech offensive lineman to be drafted in the first round of an NFL Draft. Brown started all sixteen games as a rookie in 2008 and became the first Texans rookie lineman to start every game since Chester Pitts in 2002. Brown shielded the blind side of Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub's career, who led the NFL with 4,770 passing yards and 388 points in 2009 and helped the offense smash franchise records with 6,129 total yards and 388 points.
Brown began playing twelve games in the 2010 season, allowing 6.5 firings and zero holding penalties.
Brown was on the USA Today All-Pro Team in 2011 and was named second-team All-Pro by the Associated Press, but not allowing a single dismissal or violating a holding penalty.
Brown and the Texans reached an agreement on a six-year, $53.4 million contract extension on August 16, 2012, with $22.08 million guaranteed. Brown was in his first year of his rookie deal; the contract was due to begin in 2012 at the end of the 2012 season. Brown was chosen as a first-team pick on the 2012 Pro Bowl and will play in the 2013 Pro Bowl for the first time in 2012.
During the first quarter of a game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on January 3, 2016, Brown tore his quadriceps tendon. This injury required surgery, but he was able to return for the 2016 season. Brown suffered with a knee injury during the 2016 offseason and missed the first four games of 2016 before returning in Week 5 and starting the final 12 games.
Even though Brown had two years left on the deal, he did not attend the Texans' mandatory minicamp as part of a push for a new deal. Since not turning up for the start of training camp on July 25, 2017, the Texans placed Brown on the reserve/did not report list. Brown returned to the team on October 23, after missing the first six games.
Brown was traded to the Seattle Seahawks for cornerback Jeremy Lane and two draft picks on October 30, 2017 (a 2018 fifth round and a 2019 second round). Lane had failed his physical and would not be a member of the trade the following day; rather, the Seahawks would send a third-rounder in 2018 (Martinas Rankin) and a second-rounder in 2019 in exchange for Brown and a 2018 fifth round pick. Brown was signed to the 2018 Pro Bowl on January 23, 2018, over Philadelphia Eagles tackle Lane Johnson.
Brown signed a three-year, $36.5 million contract extension with the Seahawks on July 28, 2018, keeping him under control until the 2021 season. In his last season with the team, he was named second-team All-Pro for the 2018 season and then named to the 2021 Pro Bowl.
Brown agreed to a two-year, $22 million contract with the New York Jets on August 15, 2022. After suffering a knee injury and was put on injured reserve, he was signed in order to replace Mekhi Becton. After injuring his shoulder in practice, he was placed on injured reserve on September 10, 2022. On October 8, he was activated.
