Brown (born December 4, 1965) is an American former professional football running back who played for the West Virginia Mountaineers in college and played for the New York Jets in the National Football League (NFL).
Brown, a transfer from Big East rival Pittsburgh, was one of the premiere backs for the Mountaineers during their 1988 run to the National Championship, where they lost to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.
Brown, along with Undra Johnson and Eugene Napoleon, made up the great depth at running back.
Brown, whose final game as a Pitt Panther was his 100-yard performance against the Mountaineers, ranks as one of the more memorable backs in West Virginia University.
Seen by many NFL teams as a highly coveted running back with great potential, Brown was projected as a late first-round to early second-round pick, but in the days before the draft Brown unexpectedly dropped on the draft boards to the eighth-round for unknown reasons.
