Drafted by Baltimore, Brown follows in late father's footsteps

Orlando Brown tried to start his football career in Baltimore in third grade.

Living in the city while his dad, the late Orlando “Zeus” Brown, played offensive tackle for the Ravens, Brown joined a peewee football team unbeknown to Zeus.

When his dad found out two weeks later, Brown's Baltimore football career was over.

But with the No. 83 pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, the Baltimore Ravens are giving the former Oklahoma left tackle another chance to play football in the city where he grew up and the city where his late father earned a reputation as a fierce lineman.
