Birdseed
BIRDSEED:
• Claims to draw inspiration from his father, Gilbert, who used to train for football by running through the woods and dodging trees to simulate making cuts on the football field. Brown didn't pick up tree dodging as a part of his conditioning program, but he did pick up his father's work ethic. "I've always been obsessed with working out," said Brown. "I always felt the extra work would do nothing but make me better." Incorporated swimming into his offseason workout regimine in 2007. Also used underwater boxing to help improve his handspeed which he feels will help him to get off the line on the field
• During his freshman year at Georgia, Brown's father, Gilbert, was diagnosed with having a brain tumor. Eventually, Gilbert had to undergo surgery to remove the tumor and was later forced to retire from his career in construction. "It was a rough time for my family," said Brown. "Sometimes he couldn't remember my name. My mother, Bobbie Jean, was always calm and composed through it all. I've never seen her break down. She was really strong. And the way he pulled through it is probably the reason that I am in the NFL right now. It made me work so much harder, so that we could all have a better life."
• At the University of Georgia, the football field was not the only place Bulldog fans could see Brown. He was also patrolling the Georgia campus on his Fuji road bicycle at all times of the day. Entering his junior year, Brown had saved up $600 in order to purchase a means of transportation and, eventually, a new hobby. "I got the bike because I didn't have a car," said Brown. "Then I just started to like going for rides. Some people had cars; I had my bike." Brown liked riding so much that when he was home in Carrollton, GA, he would join a group of riders from the Perpetual Motion bicycle shop for 25 and 50 mile rides.

• Set to host a radio show on ESPN Radio 920 during the 2007 season
• Undertook a 16-hour commute to visit Thailand for two weeks during the 2007 offseason. "I loved the culture over there. The people are so respectful and really religious.
