Monday Night Football College Spotlight: Chris Brown

by Allison on September 24th, 2007

Every Monday night, I’ll be highlighting one of the game’s players’ college careers, so stop back every week to check out some “back in the day” stats about current NFL players. For more in NFL football news, check out b5’s Every Morning Quarterback.

Current Team, Number, Position: Tennessee Titans #29, Running Back

Current Stats: 209 yards rushing for an average of 104. 5 yards per game

College: University of Colorado

Draft: 3rd round pick in 2003 (29th pick overall) by Tennessee

College Highlights: Brown started off his college football career at a junior college before being offered a scholarship to Northwestern University. They put him at the receiver position, which was a major factor in him leaving Northwestern to attend Colorado. There, he became one of the school’s all-time leading rushers, and in 2001 he broke the school’s record for most touchdowns in a single game (6 against Nebraska). In 2002, he was an early Heisman hopeful, but was injured late in the season, causing him to miss a few games. He decided to skip his senior year and enter the draft, although he was criticized for not being as powerful of a runner as some others in his position. Although he was deactivated for several games in 2006, he’ll hopefully get more playing time during this season!
