Orlando Brown Jr.'s 'Surreal' First Day Includes Getting His Father's Jersey Number
Orlando Brown Jr. took the field for the first time for the team he grew up hanging around as a child. Here are his emotions.
If there was ever a player born to be a Raven, it was Orlando Brown Jr.
On Friday, Brown Jr. returned to the practice fields he grew up running around as a kid watching his father, Orlando “Zeus” Brown – this time as the Ravens’ new offensive tackle.
Brown grew up dreaming about being a Baltimore Raven, following his father’s footsteps. Now, about seven years after his father’s tragic early death, “Lil’ Zeus” is making it happen in the same city, colors and even jersey number, 78.
