Professional Career

Brown was selected by the San Francisco 49ers in the seventh round of the 2015 NFL Draft. Despite his late draft position, he quickly developed into a standout pass protector. In 2018, he was traded to the New England Patriots, where he switched from right to left tackle and started every game, helping the team secure a victory in Super Bowl LIII.

Following his championship season, Brown signed a record-breaking four-year, $66 million contract with the then-Oakland Raiders in 2019, making him the highest-paid offensive lineman in the NFL at the time. He earned his first Pro Bowl selection that same season. In 2021, he returned to the Patriots via trade and remained a key starter in New England through 2023.

In March 2024, Brown signed with the Cincinnati Bengals but suffered a season-ending torn patellar tendon in Week 3. After recovering, he joined the Houston Texans in 2025. Although initially released during roster cuts, he was re-signed and became a reliable starter late in the season.

In March 2026, the Texans signed him to a one-year, $7 million extension to remain a cornerstone of their offensive line for the 2026 season.
