@entrepreneur: Jason Brown was the highest-paid center in the NFL. But his brother’s death in Iraq changed everything he wanted out of life. He was living the dream: a 10,000-square-foot mansion, a Pro Bowl within reach and a five-year, $37.5 million contract that made him the NFL’s highest-paid center. Today, he runs a 1,000-acre sweet potato farm in Louisburg, North Carolina. The former center chronicled this decision in The Athletic.
