Tim Brown talks almost playing for the Cowboys, Top-5 all-time receivers, being Arena League commissioner
About this episode
<p>NFL Players: Second Acts hosts Peanut Tillman and Roman Harper sit down with legendary Raiders wide receiver Tim Brown for a candid reflection of his Hall of Fame career. Starting with his iconic NFL debut kick return touchdown in 1988, Brown recounts the highs and lows of his 17-year professional campaign -- all but one of which being in silver and black. From vouching to have the team part ways with former coach Bill Callahan to his innate skills as a kick returner, Brown shares anecdotes that are seldom told publicly. The Hall of Famer even speaks of a time when he pleaded with then-Dallas Cowboys WR Michael Irvin in an effort to land with his hometown team. All that and more on the latest episode of the NFL Players: Second Acts Podcast!</p> <p>The NFL Players: Second Acts podcast is a production of the NFL in partnership with iHeart Media. </p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
