Recently, Game Plan for Life had the opportunity to speak with Tim Brown, a former wide receiver with Los Angeles/Oakland Raiders. Brown grew up going to church with his mother in Dallas, TX. After playing football in high school, Brown continued his career as a receiver at the University of Notre Dame. While at Notre Dame, Brown made the College Football All-America team twice and became the first wide receiver to earn a Heisman Trophy. After graduating from Notre Dame, the Los Angeles Raiders selected Brown as the 6th pick for the 1988 NFL Draft. He was voted to the Pro Bowl nine times during his professional career. Brown played with the Raiders for 16 years and went on to play with the Buccaneers one year before he retired. He became eligible for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2010.
During our conversation with Brown, he shared about his life growing up, the struggles that he faced with his Christian walk throughout college and his career, stories from his time with the Raiders, and some advice for those who desire to serve the Lord but are facing challenges similar to his own.
