Like most former players, Troy Brown is adjusting to life after the NFL. I'm sure he had his share of violent collisions and suffered some form of concussion.
He immediately started with the broadcast media doing analyst work on Boston sports talk radio station. He also scored some work on Comcast. He has provided insightful comments, but needs to bring his game up a notch.
It's good to see that he was one of 23 current and former players selected for a training class with NFL Films as part of the NFL Broadcast Boot Camp. The class from June 18-21 will focus on roles in the media.
Brown is very personable and always connected with fans. He was a slam-dunk for the team's Hall of Fame over Bill Parcells and Fred Marion. However, it can be a tough transition from being a "homer" to a national stage. I think Rodney Harrison has done a great job on Football Night In America.
Some players have some degree of articulation skills. That can be a huge problem in some cases. Vince Wilfork does a weekly interview on a local Boston station. He has improved quite a bit. Like Troy, he is a fan favorite. He now does a local radio ad for a eye vision center. I have no doubt that he will be part of the media when he retires.
