Tim Brown Set To Be Enshrined In College Football Hall Of Fame

Photo –Tim Brown – Notre Dame

Former Notre Dame wide receiver and 1987 Heisman Trophy winner Tim Brown will be among a group of college football luminaries enshrined into the National Football Foundation (NFF) College Football Hall of Fame on Saturday at Century Center in South Bend, Indiana. .
Brown finished 1986 with 1,937 all-purpose yards (910 receiving, 215 rushing, 75 on punt returns and 698 yards on kickoff returns)—a single-season Notre Dame record. His senior year’s 1,847 yards ranks second in Irish record books. In his senior year, against Michigan, he had his most spectacular catch, a leaping grab between two defenders for the winning touchdown in the Big House.
Michigan State coach, George Perles, described him this way, “Like a draft when he goes by you.” Perles had a front row seat to two of Brown’s more remarkable punt returns for TDs—consecutive returns of 71 and 66 yards. The Irish had rushed ten men to block the punt on his second touchdown. Tim created his own holes instead of calling for the fair catch. Brown was the first player in college football history to score touchdowns on consecutive punts. In fourteen touches, Tim had amassed 275 all-purpose yards in a 31-8 Irish victory
Brown left Notre Dame as their all-time leader in receiving yards (2,493), and with 5,024 total yards, averaging 116.8 yards per game. He finished his NFL career with 1,094 receptions—only the third player to reach that mark. His receptions gained 14,934 yards. second in NFL history only to Jerry Rice. When he scored his 100th touchdown, he was only the seventh wide receiver in history to accomplish this. Tim was chosen All-Pro nine times in his seventeen year career. He has the most consecutive seasons with 50+ receptions in NFL history (11). When eligible in 2010, he will become the fifth Notre Dame player in both the College Football and NFL Halls of Fame.

NFL Supplemental Draft 2010

Pro Prospects Unga and Brent-Price Selected in Supplemental Draft

The NFL conducted the Supplemental Draft 2010 on Thursday, July 15th with two players, Harvey Unga and Josh Brent-Price being selected in the 7th round. The Bears used a 7th round selection on runner Harvey Unga of BYU while the Cowboys chose DT Josh Brent-Price also in the same round. Unga can be a fine compliment to the deep Chicago backfield that includes starter Matt Forte and talented 1A type Chester Taylor. Unga gives them a fine short yardage goal line runner and a prospect with the upside to push for extensive playing time after settling into the Bears offense. DT Brent-Price is a wide body tackle with nice athleticism, but limited playing college time. He can win a backup role as a nose tackle in this 3-4 scheme, one of the positions Dallas has only marginal depth and talent. He can make this roster, but faces an adjustment to 3-4 scheme and could land on the PS if he needs more development then they expected.
