DeAndre Brown
DeAndre Brown (born October 12, 1989) is a former American football wide receiver. He grew up in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, and played high school football at Ocean Springs High School. He stood 6 feet 6 inches tall and weighed about 240 pounds.
Brown was a top college prospect in 2008 and chose to play for the Southern Miss Golden Eagles over LSU and other programs. He suffered a severe leg injury in the 2008 New Orleans Bowl, which required surgery. After the Beef ’O’ Brady’s Bowl in 2011, he decided to skip his senior year and enter the NFL draft.
He went undrafted in 2011 but signed with the Philadelphia Eagles as a free agent on July 26, 2011. He was waived by the Eagles on August 8, 2011.
Brown then played in several smaller leagues: the Knoxville NightHawks of the PIFL in 2013 (where he earned Second-team All-PIFL as an ironman), the New Orleans VooDoo of the AFL in 2014, and the Green Bay Blizzard of the IFL from 2016 to 2017 (re-signing in 2017).
His college honors include Second-team All-C-USA in 2009 and various All-America recognitions from CBS Sports, Sports Illustrated, and the Associated Press.
