Professional career[]
Baltimore Ravens[]
2013 season[]
On April 28, 2013, Brown signed with the Baltimore Ravens as an undrafted free agent following the 2013 NFL Draft.[2] Brown was one of the 2 rookie free agents to make the 2013 53-man opening day roster.[3] Brown made his NFL debut against the Denver Broncos on September 5, 2013. In that game, Brown recorded his first-career reception and his first-career touchdown.[4] In Week 14 of the 2013 season, he caught the game-winning touchdown from quarterback Joe Flacco with 4 seconds remaining in regulation for a 29-26 victory over the Minnesota Vikings; Brown won NFL Rookie of the Week honors for his performance. Brown tied the rookie record for receiving touchdowns in a season for the Baltimore Ravens with seven TD's, achieving that record against the Cincinnati Bengals.[5] Brown became the first rookie in Ravens franchise history to score a TD in each of his first two career games.[3]
2014 season[]
In the 2014 NFL season the Ravens signed wide receiver Steve Smith Sr, so Brown was demoted to backup wide receiver. Brown started his first-career post-season game against the New England Patriots on January 10, 2015.[6] In Brown's second NFL season he only had 24 receptions for 255 yards with no touchdowns. In the 2014 season, Brown was part of an offense that broke franchise single-season records in yards (5,838) and points scored (409).[3]
2015 season[]
Brown suffered a back injury in a Week 11 win against the St. Louis Rams. Brown was inactive for every game until December 29, 2015, when Brown was placed on injured reserve, ending his season.[7] The injury ended Brown's third season in the NFL with 14 receptions for 112 yards on 30 targets for zero touchdowns.[8]
Denver Broncos[]
Brown signed a one-year contract with the Denver Broncos on July 27, 2016.[9] On August 4, 2016, Brown was waived due to a back injury he suffered during training camp. He was re-signed by the Broncos on November 21, 2016.[10] He was placed on injured reserve on December 10, 2016.[11]
On September 2, 2017, Brown was released by the Broncos.[12]
