Brown had a solid outing for Kirby Wilson’s Maulers in 2022. He finished the season with 39 tackles, and was a consistent force for Pittsburgh.
Despite the Maulers finishing with a 1-9 record, the organization produced some quality talent, and Brown is a prime example of just that.
Before his time in the USFL, Brown was a standout product at Michigan State. He compiled 48 tackles in his final two years at MSU, which put him on the radar of some NFL organizations.

In 2021, he joined the Pittsburgh Steelers, and spent some time there. However, he never saw the field during the regular season, being cut before it even started. This led him to the United States Football League, and the rest is history.
Because of his opportunity with the USFL, Brown now gets a chance to pursue his NFL dreams with the Titans. You can stay up to date on all USFL to NFL signings with our official tracker.
