FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The player with the inside track to handle one of football's greatest responsibilities -- protecting quarterback Tom Brady’s blindside at left tackle -- is easily judged by his physical appearance.
That’s because Trent Brown, listed on the roster at 6-foot-8 and 380 pounds, is the biggest player in the NFL.
But ask Brown to sit down and talk about something that means the most to him, it soon becomes clear that focusing only on his size (he said he is actually 6-9 and weighs 370 pounds) and the stereotypes that might accompany it, blocks those from seeing a different side of him.
