Brown was also a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He is the cousin of former New York Jets player and a current University of West Georgia defensive backs coach, Jamie Henderson (also a Carrollton High School graduate).
Brown was a Parade All-American wide receiver at Carrollton High School, while leading the Trojans to back-to-back state championship berths and a 1998 Georgia High School Association Class AA title.
In college at the University of Georgia, Brown was highly touted receiver coming into his freshman year, but injuries held him back during his four years of college. He was the number three receiver in his freshman and sophomore years behind Terrence Edwards and Fred Gibson. During his junior and senior years, Brown was a top performer with Gibson.
Brown was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in the second round of the 2005 NFL Draft.
In 2005, his rookie season, Brown was promoted to the starting spot of suspended wide receiver Terrell Owens. In his first start on November 6, 2005, Brown caught five passes for 94 yards and one touchdown against the Washington Redskins. In his second meeting against the division-rival Redskins, he caught two first half touchdowns. This impressive performance capped a promising year for the rookie. Brown led all rookies with 571 yards and was second with 43 receptions.
