Jerome Brown (February 4, 1965 - June 25, 1992) was an American football player who played defensive tackle for the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League.

Brown was a key player on one of the NFL's top defenses before he died in a 1992 car accident. He is widely considered one of the most dominant defensive linemen to ever play the game.

Brown's son, Dee Brown, is now an outfielder in the farm system of the Washington Nationals of Major League Baseball.[1]

University of Miami career

Brown played college football at the University of Miami, where he was a standout player. He graduated from the university in 1987.

Among his more notable moments as a University of Miami player, five days before the 1987 Fiesta Bowl, at a promotional dinner with the Penn State team, Brown led a walkout by the Miami players. Leading the walkout, he asked: "Did the Japanese go sit down and have dinner with Pearl Harbor before they bombed them?" Brown and his teammates felt that the Penn State players had disrespected them by openly mocking Miami's coach, Jimmy Johnson, at a pre-game banquet.

Philadelphia Eagles

Brown was a first-round draft pick in the 1987 NFL Draft by the Philadelphia Eagles. During his five-year professional career with the Eagles, he was twice selected to the Pro Bowl (in 1990 and 1991).

Death

Brown died on June 25, 1992, at the age of 27, following an automobile accident in Florida, in which both he and his nephew were killed when Brown lost control of his Chevrolet Corvette at high speed. Brown was buried in Brooksville, Florida.

Brown's jersey number (#99) was retired by the Eagles on September 6, 1992, in an emotional pre-game ceremony at Veterans Stadium, prior to the Eagles' first game of the 1992 season. After his death, many Eagles players and fans started a new unofficial motto, "Bring it home for Jerome!" This, of course, refers to bringing a Super Bowl title to the city. A sign of the fondness with which Eagles fans continue to view Brown, the saying has continued to this day, nearly two decades following his death.
