Former Oregon Football Tight End Pharaoh Brown impressed in his first day at the NFL Combine.

Pharaoh Brown has not had an easy College Career. ‘Comeback’ is the best word to describe Brown who suffered a devastating leg injury, rehabbed and returned to the field to have a solid Senior Season for the Oregon Ducks Football team. He was the only member of the Oregon Ducks to be invited to the NFL Combine and has made the most of the opportunity.

Brown took to the bench press in Indianapolis and pushed the maximum weight of 225 pounds, a unit leading 24 times. He topped times by OJ Mayo and Eric Saubert and even had some additional motivation in a Eugene/Springfield Charity.

Pharaoh Brown is 6 foot 6 and has NFL Height, but character issues have followed him since his time with Oregon. He was a key figure in a snowball fight his Freshman season and was also involved in several off the field issues with teammates, but his perseverance to return to the field and showing he has learned from the past may get him closer to his NFL Dream.
