Although Brown never played on a championship team, other credentials merit his selection. Chief among them: his versatility. In an age of specialists, Brown not only was an outstanding pass receiver but also a highly productive kick returner. Upon his retirement following the 2004 season, he had compiled the fifth-most combined net yards (19,682) of any player in NFL history. Also impressive is the durability that allowed him to play an average of 15 games a season over 17 years and his nine Pro Bowl selections, the most by any of this year’s skill-position candidates.
