If you aren’t a native
of the Carrollton area, you
might not be aware that an up
and coming NFL star wide
receiver grew up just over a
mile from the UWG campus.
Philadelphia Eagles
receiver Reggie Brown
is fast making a name for
himself. In just his second
season, which ended with
the playoff loss to New
Orleans on January 13,
Reggie led the Eagles in
touchdowns with 8 and
receiving yards with 816.
A ixx)kie year which
saw Brown lead all NFL
rookie wide receivers in
receiving yards coupled
with a good first half of the
2006 season impressed the
Eagles organization enough
to sign him to a contract
extension keeping Reggie
an Eagle until 2014. The
contract holds $lO million
in guaranteed money with
incentives making it possible
for him to earn $27 million.
Along with leading all
rookies in receiving yards in
2005, Reggie ranked second
in receptions with 43 and
third in receiving touchdowns
with 4. He set a Philadelphia
rookie record with the
reception mark. He was the

35th overall selection in the
2005 NFL draff.
In high sch(X)l, Reggie
was a three sport phenom.
Along with leading the local
Carrollton Trojans hxitbail
squad to AA state champions
in 1998, he was also a 4 year

the long jump in 1998 with a
mark of 24 feet 9 inches. In
his senior season Reggie made
62 catches for 1.046 yards and
10 touchdowns.
Criming out of high
school, Reggie debated staying
close to home and going to
UGA w ith the opportunity to
play for the Buckeyes of Ohio
State. Being that his cousin.
Jamie Henderson, had gone
on to play for Georgia then
the NFL, Reggie decided that
also attending UGA would be
in his best interest.
During his four year
collegiate career at the
University of Georgia,
Brown made 144 catches
for 2,(X)8 total yards and
twelve touchdowns. The
2,(X)8 career total yardage
made him only the fifth
UGA player ever to have
reached the 2,(XX) yard
mark. He led UGA in
receptions in 2(X)2 and
2(X)4. His 144 catches tied
him with Hines Ward for
fourth on the all time UGA
receptions list.
It wasn't easy for Reggie
in his rookie year. Any
sports fan can remember
the drama that cxxurred
between the Philadelphia
Eagles organization and
Terrell Owens in 2(X)5.
After the Eagles decided
to part ways with Owens,
Reggie was named his
replacement and it is evident
now that he was up for the
challenge.
Reggie Brown is widely
known as the best athlete to
come from the Carrollton area.
Although the NFL season is
coming to an end s<x>n, watch
out for Reggie next year as he
looks to improve on his first
tw o NFL seasons.
