Brown, who played 11 seasons in the NFL, was integral part of the Packer’s win in Super Bowl XXXI. His determined play and infectious personality has made him an all-time favorite among Packer fans the world over. His nickname “The Gravedigger� comes from his familiar “shoveling� motions on the field after making a big hit or quarterback sack on the opposing team.
