Professional career
Brown was regarded as one of the best offensive tackles available in the 2005 NFL draft,[3] and drew comparisons to Jordan Gross.[4] He was selected by the New Orleans Saints with the 13th overall pick.[5] Brown was the first Sooner offensive lineman taken in the draft since Stockar McDougle went to the Detroit Lions as the 20th overall pick in the 2000 NFL draft. Remarkably, Brown was the highest selection among OU offensive lineman since Stan West was the No. 8 pick by the Los Angeles Rams in 1950.[6]

New Orleans Saints (2005–2009)
He was selected to attend the 2006 Pro Bowl alongside the player he protected, quarterback Drew Brees, after anchoring the line that got the Saints to the NFC Championship Game. Brown's prototypical size at left tackle makes him good at both run and pass blocking. He led the league in rushing average behind left tackle while only allowing 3 sacks. He was again selected with Brees to participate in the 2008 Pro Bowl.
A torn ACL kept Brown out of action in 2009. The emergence of Jermon Bushrod in his absence resulted in him losing his starting job and an eventual trade to the Washington Redskins.
Washington Redskins (2010–2012)
Brown was traded to the
On July 31, 2011, the Redskins re-signed Brown to a five-year, $20.25 million contract.[8] As with the 2010 season, he was hampered by the hip surgery he received in 2009.[9] In Week 15 of the 2011 season against the New England Patriots, he suffered a groin injury during pre-game warmups and was replaced by Tyler Polumbus.[10] At the end of the 2011 season, Brown played and started a total of 12 games.
At the start of 2012 training camp, Brown was placed on the physically unable to perform list due to hip soreness on July 26, 2012.[11] Despite initial reports saying he would not need to undergo surgery,[12] Brown had hip surgery on August 27 and expected to miss four to six weeks while recovering.[13] By the start of the 2012 season, he was kept on the PUP list meaning he would not be allowed to play in the first six games of the season. On November 28, the Redskins decided to leave him on the season-ending PUP list.[14] Due to how Brown's contract was restructured last season, the last three years on his contract became void on February 8, 2013, which set him up to become an unrestricted free agent for 2013 season.[15][16]
