Malcom Brown receives No. 1 jersey, recognizes Patriots' workmanlike attitude

First-rounder Malcom Brown finally received his No. 1 jersey today on the Gillette Stadium game field during an annual ceremony with Robert Kraft and Jonathan Kraft. The original date had been postponed due to a scheduling conflict, which also preceded the Deflategate news that temporarily halted media access at the facility.

"It’s a great honor to be here, just to contribute to a team that is hardworking and just to get in the program and work hard with them," Brown said.

Robert Kraft opened the ceremony with a minute-long comment before walking away with his son.
