He was drafted by the Seattle Seahawks in the seventh round of the 2003 NFL Draft.
He played college football at Nebraska. Brown also played for the St. Louis Rams, Cincinnati Bengals and New York Giants. Brown was released by the Giants on October 25, 2016, after it was made public that he had admitted to an abusive relationship with his wife.
Early years
Brown was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He began his football career after his family moved from Tulsa when he was in eighth-grade and he subsequently attended Foyil High School.
Personal life
Brown was arrested on a fourth-degree domestic violence charge on May 22, 2015, in Woodinville, Washington. According to the police report, the victim alleged that Brown grabbed her wrist while she was picking up a phone. The victim dialed 911 and alleged an assault. The police report states the victim's wrist had "redness" "and a small cut, possibly from a fingernail." On May 27, 2015, five days after the arrest, the charges were dropped by a prosecutor, according to a Washington state district court. Including the May 22 incident, at least eight physical assaults were reported to the police and twenty more were detailed with the King County Sheriff's Office.
According to documents released by King County Sheriff's Office related to his 2015 domestic charge, Brown admitted to abusing his ex-wife. These documents were first obtained by NJ Advance Media. Some of the documents contained therapy journal entries that Brown wrote; one of the entries included Brown saying, "I have abused my wife." In an email, Brown wrote, "I objectified women and never really worried about the pain and hurt I caused them." The documents also contained a "Contract for Change" signed by Brown, his ex-wife, and counselor Jerry Price; this contract states that Brown had physically, verbally, and emotionally abused his ex-wife. Brown also admitted in the documents that he was molested as a young boy. Brown has since begun to speak publicly about his past, encouraging young men to treat women with respect and kindness.
Professional career
Brown was drafted by the Seattle Seahawks with the 222nd overall pick in the 2003 NFL Draft. Brown kicked a 58-yard field goal in a game against the Green Bay Packers on October 5, 2003, the longest of his career. Brown kicked two field goals and three PATs against the Green Bay Packers on January 4, 2004, making his postseason debut against the Green Bay Packers. Brown punched against the St. Louis Rams on October 10, 2004, after an injury to Tom Rouen. Brown's career-high four field goals (33, 40, 28 and 31 yards) against the New England Patriots on October 17, 2004. When playing against the Dallas Cowboys on October 23, 2005, he made two field goals over 50 yards: a 55-yarder and a 50-yarder as time expired to win the game.
While time ran out against the St. Louis Rams to win the game 30-28, he kicked a 54-yard game-winning field goal on October 15, 2006. Seattle was called for an unlawful formation foul when it had been a 49-yard kick. Unlike a false start penalty, Brown still had a chance to kick, but from 54 yards out. In a snowy Monday Night Football game against the Green Bay Packers, he tied his career best by kicking four field goals, with all four field goals made in the first half. Brown won the game against the Denver Broncos on December 3, 2006, his fourth game-winning kick in the last minute in the 2006 season.
The Seattle Seahawks used their franchise tag on Brown on February 22, 2007. During a third-quarter kickoff, Brown made a game out of it by tackling and almost stripping the ball from Pro Bowl kick returner Devin Hester of the Chicago Bears. In the NFC Wild Card Game against the Washington Redskins, Brown scored a 50-yard career-high field goal on January 5, 2008.
Brown signed with the St. Louis Rams on February 29, 2008, making him the NFL's highest paid kicker at the time. The Seattle Seahawks had offered him comparable compensation, but the Seattle Seahawks had to pay for the whole deal, but with an additional year and back loaded the whole thing. This would have made him the highest-paid kicker, but Brown took offense to the fact that the Seahawks' deal was something he was offered after visiting the Rams. In an interview with Seattle sports radio station KJR 950, he said he did not want to be a "slave to the businessman," a remark that has been mocked by Seattle media and fans.
Brown kicked four field goals, one of which was the game-winning 49-yarder, against the Washington Redskins as time expired. Brown threw a 36-yard touchdown pass to tighten Daniel Fells with 54 seconds remaining in the first half against the Detroit Lions on November 1, 2009. Brown scored a 60-yard field goal in a preseason game against the Indianapolis Colts on August 13, 2011. If it had been a regular season game, it would have been a career long, but statistics on preseason games are not available. In April 2012, the Rams cut Greg Zuerlein to draft Greg Zuerlein in the 2012 NFL Draft. He was in his fifth year with the Rams in his $14.2 million five-year contract.
Brown was signed by the New York Jets on May 1, 2012 to face incumbent Nick Folk. Brown was shot by the team on August 27, 2012.
Brown was signed by the Cincinnati Bengals on December 6, 2012, as a result of Mike Nugent's injury. Brown defeated Neil Rackers and Billy Cundiff for the job. He kicked the game-winning field goal against the Pittsburgh Steelers on December 23, 2012, bringing the Bengals their first back-to-back playoff berths since the 1981-1982 seasons.
On March 13, 2013, Brown signed with the New York Giants on March 13, 2013. He went 23-of-26 in field goals and 31-of-31 in extra points in his first season. Brown kicked a game-winning 45-yarder against the Detroit Lions in overtime on December 22, 2013. He kicked a career-high five field goals against the Philadelphia Eagles on October 27, 2013.
Brown signed a two-year, $2.6 million contract with the Giants in 2014. Brown went 24-of-26 in field goals and converted all 44 of his extra points in his second season with the team. He missed the game-winning field goal against the New York Jets in overtime on December 6, 2015. Brown was 27-of-29 in field goals and 41-of-42 in extra points in 2015. After Stephen Gostkowski's decision not to participate in the 2016 Pro Bowl in his 13th NFL appearance, Brown was chosen to participate in his 13th NFL season.
Brown became a free agent after the 2015 season. It was revealed that the Giants had re-signed on April 18, 2016. Brown is said to have been paid two-years, $4 million. On August 17, 2016, he was suspended one game by the NFL for breaching the league's conduct policy. "I do not agree with the suspension, I will accept it," the singer said. I have exhausted the appeals process and have no other choices along those lines." The suspension resulted from a domestic violence arrest in 2015.
The King County, Washington Sherriff's Office published information relating to a domestic violence lawsuit involving Brown on October 20, 2016. He confessed to verbally and physically insulting his then-wife, Molly, in those papers. John Mara, the Giants' co-owner, told WFAN in New York City that he resigned Brown even after he confessed to abusing her in the past. In the face of a firestorm of skepticism, the Giants suspended Brown for their Week 7 match against the Los Angeles Rams in London and announced that he would reconsider his position after the game.
In response to further criticism, the NFL placed Brown on the commissioner's exempt list while rereading the papers, saying that they included "other instances of misconduct" separate from the one for which he was suspended. Brown had the right to appeal this decision, but ESPN's Adam Schefter said he would not do so.
The NFL claimed that it had made multiple attempts to obtain records relating to the investigation, but it was refused by the sheriff's office. King County Sheriff John Urquhart told KIRO-AM in Seattle that he had received a letter from an investigator seeking details on the investigation, but he never revealed that he was working for the NFL. For that reason, he dismissed the letter as "yokel" in the sense. Any calls for details regarding the investigation would have immediately to him if the league had followed the normal channels, and "we might have told them orally a little bit more about what we had," at the time. When it asked for the facts in the manner that it did, the NFL, Urquhart said, behaved like a "bully."
Brown was released by the Giants on October 25, 2016. The Giants apologised for their earlier "misguided" reaction to the situation, according to a tweet. Since the NFL placed him on the exempt list, this change had been anticipated. Brown will never play for the Giants again, according to ESPN's Chris Mortensen, and that they did not want to break ties with him at the earliest opportunity.
Brown, a free agent, was suspended an additional six games after the NFL launched a fresh probe into his latest domestic violence complaint on September 8, 2017. Brown was allowed to return to the field after receiving his suspension. However, he has not been signed by an NFL franchise as of October 2022.
