Tom Brown, a Super Bowl Champion who moved to Salisbury following the end of his career and ran the local "Tom Brown Rookie League," died last week.
Brown was drafted by the Green Bay Packers out of the University of Maryland in 1963 and was part of three straight NFL championship-winning teams from 1965-67, and won two Super Bowls. Brown also recorded the game-saving interception in the final minutes of the 1966 NFL Championship Game.
A two-sport athlete, Brown also played baseball professionally for the Washington Senators for a brief time before pursuing pro football with the Packers.
