I remember thinking at the time the skins drafted him that they had made another huge mistake (2 first rounders, a fourth and a fifth to trade up). They ended up with LaVar and Chris, but no Courtney Brown. I couldn't have been more wrong, Chris has anchored the line since then and been an on and off the field leader.

His quiet strength carried the team (and several coaches) through some tough times. If he does indeed retire, the impact to the team will be tremendous, he is more than their best lineman, he is one of the biggest producers on the team. Either way, I hope his injury and symptoms are temporary, he will be missed.
