After a standout career with the Tarheels he was selected in the fourth round of the 2005 NFL Draft and began his pro career with the Baltimore Ravens at center. After playing his first three seasons with the Ravens he signed a monster five-year $37.5 million contract with the St. Louis Rams that included $20 million in guaranteed money, which made him the highest paid center in professional football. Despite the large sum of money and having three years left on his contract, Jason Brown decided to leave the NFL in 2012 to become a farmer in Louisburg, North Carolina.
