Best of 2021: From Football to Farming
Find out how to trade your plans for a life that matters. Jason Brown was the highest-paid center in the NFL. He made millions every year and lived in luxury. But a few years ago he traded in his cleats and the multi-million dollar contract to buy a farm. They thought he was crazy. Hear how bad and how good things got on a "Best of 2021" broadcast of Chris Fabry Live.
IN THIS EPISODE
Jason Brown
Jason Brown grew up in Henderson, N.C. He went on to attend the University of North Carolina, where he played both guard and tackle before moving to center. He never missed a game. He was drafted in the fourth round by the Baltimore Ravens in 2005. Jason became a free agent in 2009 and was signed by the St. Louis Rams for $37.5 million, making him the highest-paid center in the league. He was again a free agent three years later, but rather than signing a new contract, Jason left the NFL and bought a 1,000-acre farm nearly Louisburg, N.C. He has been farming full-time since 2013, and he gives nearly everything that he grows (mostly sweet potatoes) to the poor. He and his wife, Tay, have been married since 2003 and have eight children.
