Jason Brown Featured In Insightful Player

Posted Dec 15, 2010
When Jason Brown played football in high school, he came home from practice too exhausted to do his homework. But he knew that schoolwork was important. His own grandfather had led the charge to desegregate schools in his community. So he set his alarm for 3 a.m. and studied by lamplight until he got it all done. It was Jason’s willingness to make this kind of sacrifice that helped get him to the NFL. (The Insightful Player)
