The Nest

Troy Brown will be honored at the newly built Patriot Place at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough during the week of Nov 10th to the 16th. On display will be jerseys, shoes, photos and other items used by the wide receiver during his 15 year tenure with the New England Patriots.

Brown occupies a special place in the hearts of Pat’s fans. He not only caught passes for a living (all-time leading receiver with 557 career receptions), his special teams play as punt returner (all-time leader with 252 returns for 2,625 yards and 3 TD’s) and the occasional, emergency defensive role (ranking second on the team in interceptions [3] behind Eugene Wilson) earned him a reputation of jack of all trades and a guy willing to do anything to help his team win. He even starred in commercials where he answered the phones for the team presumably because the receptionist was out sick. That’s dedication!

He was the quintessential Patriot, serving as the model for all others to emulate. His no-nonsense style of play, his “get the job done” attitude and his lack of an over-the-top touchdown celebratory dance made him a humble hero in the eyes of New England fans.

So to Troy Brown I say Thank you and congratulations on a fantastic career, the recognition you deserve and the ability to retire while you’re young enough to enjoy life!
