Known for his consistent play and highlight-reel hits, Sheldon Brown has provided valuable stability and leadership to the secondary since earning a starting role in 2004. As a full-time starter, he has recorded 3 touchdowns and 10 interceptions, while providing many bone-jarring tackles. "He's a tough guy," said defensive coordinator Jim Johnson. "He plays in pain, doesn't want to come out of the game. There are some guys that get a few nicks and can't handle it, but he's one of those guys that is just mentally tough." A second round draft choice in 2002, Brown has seen action in all 105 regular and postseason contests, and signed a lucrative, six-year contract extension in 2004 that will keep him in Philadelphia through 2012.
