The Best Eagles I Never Saw: Timmy Brown, Jack of All Trades

Timmy Brown was a versatile star in the NFL. Most people don't know who he is.

The first in a series of profiles of lesser known Eagles greats.

After winning the NFL Championship in 1960, the Philadelphia Eagles fell on very hard times. From 1962 to 1977, the Eagles had only one winning season, going 73-142-9 during that span. Quite simply, they were an inept team. But they weren’t one devoid of talent. Hall of Famer Sonny Jurgensen started the era and Ron Jaworski ended it. Pete Retzlaff had some of the finest seasons of his career, and Bob Brown carved out half of a Hall of Fame career with the Birds, the team also had a number of All-Pros.
