[edit] Not the third lineman ever taken first.

The trivia section noted that Brown was the 3rd-ever DL taken with the first overall pick, which is false. The 10 DLs that were taken first overall before him were:

1967- Bubba Smith (DE) 1972- Walt Patulski (DT) 1973- John Matuszak (DE) 1974- Ed "Too Tall" Jones (DE) 1976- Lee Roy Selmon (DE) 1982- Kenneth Sims (DT) 1985- Bruce Smith (DE) 1991- Russell Maryland (DT) 1992- Steve Emtman (DT) 1994- Dan Wilkinson (DT)

[edit] Is he retired?

I know it was suggested, but i haven't seen anything. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2805059 doesn't mention his retirement. http://www.rotoworld.com/content/playerpages/player_main.aspx?sport=NFL&id=2574 says that it "looks like", but right now i don't see anything that says he's filed his papers.
