The Newest Saint

It was reported that former Chicago Bear Alex Brown has signed a two-year deal with the Saints.  For you Saints Fans out there, here is a brief primer on our newest player.



Position: Defensive End
Marital Status: Married with two kids: son Antonio and daughter Kaylen
Age: 30
College: Brown was a standout at the University of Florida.  In his college career he was SEC player of year, a finalist for the Lombardi Trophy,  and one of five finalists of the Bronko Nagurski trophy.
Pros: an 8 year veteran, Brown spent all of his career with the Chicago Bears.  So far in his NFL career, Brown has played 96 games and has 31.5 career sacks. He has also picked off five passes (two in 2006) and deflected 33 passes, an unusually high number for a defensive end. He has the 2nd longest active-streak of any defensive lineman in the NFL and has not missed a game since the 2nd game of his rookie season.   Awesome.   He was released by the Bears after they signed Julius Peppers.
