Troy Brown never had just one home on the football field. That, in part, led to his greatness over the course of 15 seasons with the
Patriots [team stats].
Now, Brown has his permanent residence at Gillette Stadium, as it was announced yesterday he was voted into the Patriots Hall of Fame. He captured the vote by record-setting proportions, outdistancing head coach Bill Parcells and free safety Fred Marion.
Brown will be inducted Sept. 15 in a public ceremony outside The Hall at Patriot Place. Brown was a wide receiver by trade, but contributions also came on special teams and at cornerback.
“
Troy Brown [stats] is the ultimate team player and one of the greatest competitors I have ever had the privilege of coaching,” coach
Bill Belichick said in a statement. “Offense, defense, special teams, if there was a job to do, Troy embraced it and did it at a championship level.
“No matter the situation or conditions, Troy raised the bar of excellence and helped create a winning tradition we strive to uphold. The bigger the game, the more Troy stepped up. There is no more deserving player of any accolade that comes his way than Troy Brown.”
