The Facts: The Chargers have agreed to terms on a one-year contract with former first-round draft pick Brown.
Diehards Line:The 6-0, 230-pounder spent the 2011 season with the Eagles, where he played in all 16 games as a backup to starter LeSean McCoy. Brown started two games for the Eagles and finished the year with 136 yards and a touchdown on the ground. Brown was the second overall pick in the first round of the 2005 NFL Draft by the Dolphins. In six seasons for the Dolphins, Brown rushed for 4,815 yards and 36 touchdowns, while catching 184 passes for 1,491 yards and a pair of scores. Brown will join Curtis Brinkley to provide depth behind Ryan Mathews -- although recent comments and reporting has suggested such a role will be limited.
