Roosevelt Brown

Roosevelt Brown

One of Morgan State's first ever Small College All-Americans in 1952, "Rosey" joined the team as a 27th round draft choice and was regarded as one of the greatest sleeper picks of all time.  He won a starting offensive tackle position during his initial season with the Giants and held it for 13 seasons.  An excellent downfield blocker and classic pass protector, Rosey was selected All-NFL eight years in a row from 1956 to 1963.  He played in nine Pro Bowls and was named NFL Lineman of the Year in 1956.  After his playing career, Brown continued his Giant affiliation as a coach before being appointed as a scout in 1971.  Rosey was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1975.
