St. Louis / Los Angeles Rams

Brown was drafted by the St. Louis Rams in the 3rd round, 72nd overall, in the 2015 NFL Draft.[4] He signed a rookie contract worth $2,496,158 over four years. On November 17, 2015, he was placed on injured reserve due to a lower leg fracture. He then returned to play right guard for the Rams.[5]

In 2017, Brown opened the season as the starting right guard. He started all 16 games.

On July 3, 2018, Brown was suspended the first two games of the 2018 season for violating the NFL Policy and Program for Substances of Abuse.[6] In his absence, Austin Blythe took over Brown's previous starting role at right guard, and kept the job upon Brown's return from suspension.[7] On October 30, 2018, he was waived by the Rams.[8]

New York Giants

On October 31, 2018, Brown was claimed off waivers by the New York Giants.[9] He was named the Giants starting right guard in Week 10, and remained there the rest of the season.

Atlanta Falcons

On March 13, 2019, Brown signed a three-year, $18.75 million contract with the Atlanta Falcons.[10] Brown competed with veteran James Carpenter and rookie Chris Lindstrom for a starting guard spot. He was named a backup guard to start the season, but was named the starting right guard prior to Week 2 following an injury to Lindstrom.[11] He was benched in the final games of the season.[12]
