The first time came when he was the running backs coach at Cleveland and doctors reportedly found cancer in his colon and liver. The second time came prior to the 2019 season when a malignant tumor was reportedly found near his pancreas.“It’s going to do one of two things to you,” Sports Illustrated reported Brown said of his battle against the disease after taking the job at Wisconsin.
The Houston Oilers drafted Brown in the eighth round of the 1991 draft with the 214th-overall pick. He spent eight seasons in the league, playing for three teams, but his best days were with the Oilers and Giants. He ran for 1,002 yards for the team in 1993, and in 1998 with the New York Giants he went for 1,063 yards.
