Brown through thick and thin
“We all need to go through things to shape our purpose and make us better,” Brown said alluding to his hardships in the past. “If we all just sit here and didn’t ever go through anything, we wouldn’t be able to appreciate life or we would never be able to grow. The things I went through, was able to prepare me to grow and make me a better person.”
Although Brown could have reached the milestone much earlier, had he not been suspended for eight games in 2020. However, playing alongside the GOAT of NFL Brown covered up his missed matches to achieve this enormous feat.
