"When Giants General Manager George Young was deciding if Brown was worth a first-round supplemental draft pick five years ago, he liked that Brown was local, from Westfield, N.J., less than 20 miles from Giants Stadium.... Brown, 27, was married in June to Katy Lynch, whom he met and dated at Westfield High School, and they have moved to a house in rural New Jersey."
