Clearly, Brown is a longshot to make the NFL Dolphins' 53-man roster.

He was listed fifth among the five tight ends on the team's first depth chart, behind veteran Anthony Fasano, Charles Clay, Jeron Mastrud and rookie NFL third-round pick Michael Egnew.
But Brown isn't conceding anything.
''I give myself a shot,'' Brown said. ''To get to this point, no one believed in me. Maybe family and close nfl jerseys cheap friends thought I had a shot. But I'm going to keep doing what I did to get here and that's work hard and believe in myself.
''I don't have control over the decisions the coaches make, but I'm going to bring my 'A' game every day, work hard, stay after practice and work on the little things, and hopefully they'll discount nfl jerseys notice that and give me a shot.''

Brown last played football seven years ago when he was a high school senior in Utah. He played basketball at nearby NAIA Westminster College.
''These guys aren't going to take it easy on me because I'm a basketball player or I was an accountant or whatever,'' he said. ''Every day I've got to strap NFL up just like my teammates and play hard.''
Brown wouldn't be the first former basketball player without college football experience to play in the NFL. Eight-time Pro Bowl selection Antonio Gates and second-year Denver tight end Julius Thomas accomplished the feat.
Nor would Brown be the first player to make NFL to the NFL after working at a regular job. Dolphins teammate Cameron Wake worked as a personal trainer and mortgage broker before he got a shot in the CFL in 2007 that led to his NFL career.
