Forgotten Falcons: Ray Brown

For today’s Forgotten Falcon, we’ve dug deep into the past and turned up a legitimately great player who doesn’t get his due (or his name mentioned) much today. Enter safety Ray Brown.

Years in Atlanta: 1971-1977

Stats: 31 interceptions, 574 yards, 2 defensive touchdowns, 7 fumble recoveries

Ray Brown suffers a bit from two particular curses. The first is that he played four decades ago, which makes his accomplishments easier to forget, since the bulk of Falcons fans have come along over the last two or so.
