Speaker and Booking Agent Information

Jason Brown played college ball in his home state at the University of North Carolina. After a standout career with the Tarheels he was selected in the fourth round of the 2005 NFL Draft and began his pro career with the Baltimore Ravens at center. After playing his first three seasons with the Ravens he signed a monster five-year $37.5 million contract with the St. Louis Rams that included $20 million in guaranteed money, which made him the highest paid center in professional football. Despite the large sum of money and having three years left on his contract, Jason Brown decided to leave the NFL in 2012 to become a farmer in Louisburg, North Carolina. His decision was not a selfish one however. Brown has become a farmer for a specific reason, which is to grow produce to stock the shelves local food pantries for free. To date he has donated 46,000 pounds of sweet potatoes and over 10,000 pounds of cucumbers. His selfless decision to leave his NFL dreams behind to help others shows the depth of his character, and serves as an example to others in regards to giving when you have the opportunity to give.
