Duane Brown began his pro career in 2008 with the Houston Texans where he is arguably in the top group of Offensive Linemen in franchise history.  The former First Round Pick went to three Pro Bowls in Houston, but in the search for a better contact, he sat out the first six weeks of the 2017 Season.  After one Game that year, he was traded to the Seahawks, where he proved again why he was one of the best Left Tackles in the game.

Playing only nine Games with Seattle that year, Brown went to his fourth Pro Bowl.  Although he was not one of the chosen ones in 2018, he arguably his best season as a Seahawk in 2018, with a 13 in Approximate Value with a Second Team All-Pro nod.  Brown performed well in 2019 and 2021, Pro Bowl number five fell his way in 2021.

Following the 2021 Season, Brown signed with the New York Jets, ending his Seattle career with 70 Games, all as a starter.

2023 Pre-Season Rank #86, 2022 Pre-Season Rank #90, 2021 Pre-Season Rank #95, 2020 Pre-Season Rank #122.  Peak Period: 2011-15

Brown enters the season as a Free Agent, and if his career has come to an end, has he done enough to become a Hall of Fame inductee?

He likely hasn’t, bit leaves behind 220 Games Played (218 Starts) and should be acknowledged in any Houston Texans Hall of Fame.  He could still find work in 2024 as a veteran presence on a contending team.
