PHILADELPHIA -- Like he typically does, Randy Brown hovered near his star pupil, the Baltimore Ravens' Justin Tucker, watching the NFL's most accurate kicker hit ball after ball through the uprights.
During this week's joint practices at the Philadelphia Eagles' NovaCare Complex, Brown's familiar spot felt even more like home.
Brown, the assistant special-teams coach for the Ravens, was standing 12 miles from Evesham Township, New Jersey, where he was the mayor from 2007-18. His journey from elected official to the best kicking coach in the NFL has been much longer.
