Jerry Brown is a former professional American football player who played as a gridiron football player. He was born on April 15, 1987, in St. Louis, Missouri. Brown began his football career in college, playing for the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

During his time at the University of Illinois, Brown was a standout player, known for his athleticism and skill on the field. His performance caught the attention of professional football scouts, leading to his signing with the Indianapolis Colts as an undrafted free agent in 2012.

Brown's time with the Colts was short-lived, and he later joined the Dallas Cowboys in 2012. He was a member of the Cowboys' practice squad before being promoted to the active roster later that year.

Tragically, Brown's promising career was cut short in December 2012 when he was involved in a fatal car accident. The incident also involved his teammate, Josh Brent, who was driving the vehicle at the time. Brown's death was a devastating loss to the football community, and his memory continues to be honored by those who knew him.

In memory of Jerry Brown, the football community has come together to raise awareness about the dangers of driving under the influence and to promote safer practices both on and off the field.
