NORMAN, Okla. -- The Monday after the NFL combine, former Pro Bowl tackle Jammal Brown was on a plane to Los Angeles, where Orlando Brown Jr. was training. Jammal Brown (no relation) knew Orlando Brown had fallen into "a bad place" after flubbing the biggest job interview of his life.
"He was disappointed," Jammal Brown said. "Disappointed in himself, embarrassed, angry -- felt like he had let down everybody around him."
The Sooners tackle with the NFL pedigree, the All-American who had protected Baker Mayfield's blind side for his entire historic career, had every reason to feel crushed.
