Before we start, I would like to announce this is the first post to my Great NFL Careers series, and it also happens to be the Patriots post for the 32 Greats/32 Days. This may not always be the format my series, but I do like this setup so perhaps it might be. Now, onto Troy Brown.

To start, I would like to explain why I chose Troy Brown. No, he is not the most famous Patriot ever, nor is he the greatest Patriot ever. When discussing Patriots all time greats, his name is often left in the shadows of Tom Brady, Stanley Morgan, John Hannah, Tedy Bruschi. The thing is, almost no one demonstrates The Patriot Way more than Troy Brown. This post will describe Troy Brown’s career in depth, from the moment he was drafted, until the moment he retired.
