«He’s a great guy, down to earth, and he’s passionate about the sport of football,» Jackson told The Baltimore Sun at the time.
«I feel like the locker room here is different from any other locker room. It’s like a brotherhood. There’s none of that outside noise, it’s strictly inside. We care about each other, we care about what we have to do. We want to win, and I can say in him that he wants to win. He wants to play ball».
Brown hasn’t played a snap in the NFL since running off the field in January 2022 during a game for the Buccaneers. After the game, coach Bruce Arians told reporters that Brown «wasn’t a Buc anymore.»
Since his departure from Tampa Bay, Brown has had a number of problems off the field. Authorities issued a warrant for Brown’s arrest due to alleged unpaid child support.
In 2019, the Patriots released Brown after the league began investigating him for multiple allegations of sexual misconduct. Last October, Brown had to pay a delivery man after an alleged attack.
