Former NFL player and NC native Jason Brown now runs a farm in Louisburg
Posted Oct 7, 2019
Ten years ago, you could find former UNC center Jason Brown on the football field. He was one of the highest-paid players in the NFL. Now you’ll find Brown on a farm. “I’m farmer Brown, alright,” he said. Brown said he left a $35 million contract with the St. Louis Rams for a bigger purpose. “I was inspired by my older brother who was slain in service."
