The Kansas City Chiefs of the National Football League’s offensive line are led by offensive tackle Orlando Brown. He weighs 154 kg and is 1.83 m tall. When he was in high school, he played football for Peachtree Ridge High School. He made the choice to enrol at the University of Oklahoma, where he played NCAA football for the Oklahoma Sooners.
He spent his first year of college at Oklahoma redshirting before being chosen as the starting left tackle in 2015. He announced in January 2018 that he would skip his senior year and instead enter the 2018 NFL Draft. In spite of taking part in every positional practice and the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, he performed poorly.
He ran the slowest 40-yard sprint time of any prospect at the combine, according to NFL analyst Mike Mayock, who described it as a “historically poor time.” In the third round of the 2018 NFL Draft, the Baltimore Ravens selected Brown with the 83rd overall choice. In January 2020, he was selected as a backup offensive tackle for the 2020 Pro Bowl and added to the roster of players who are currently eligible for the Pro Bowl.
The Kansas City Chiefs acquired Brown in an April 2021 trade. His non-exclusive franchise tag was granted by the Chiefs in March 2022. He was unable to reach a long-term agreement, thus on August 2, 2022, he signed his $16.7 million franchise tag tender.
