In 9th Coaching Role, Los Angeles Rams New Tight End Coach Thomas Brown Still Looking to Grow

“I’m kind of a weird guy,” Brown said. “I was obviously excited to win (the Super Bowl) that night … but after that my mind was on moving forward. I’ll probably appreciate it more as my career goes on.”

A sixth-round pick by the Atlanta Falcons in 2008, Brown played running back in the NFL for two seasons. Now, he finds himself in a unfamiliar situation full of challenges that he’s ready to take head on.

“It’s going to be very beneficial for me as a coach and be able to challenge me, force me to grow, which is what I’ve always asked for and prayed for is to be in an opportunity where I have access to knowledge,” Brown said. “But also, I think places of comfort are great, but you never grow in places of comfort. Being able to get outside my comfort zone and force myself to grow and have some more involvement and keep rollin’ here with the Rams.”
