Oklahoma lineman Orlando Brown Jr. a chip off the old block
NORMAN, Okla. — Years ago, a much smaller version of Oklahoma left tackle Orlando Brown Jr. was called for a personal foul in a youth football game.
His dad, Orlando Sr. — all 6-foot-7 and well over 300 pounds of him —came rumbling down from the stands and onto the field. Not to complain to the officials. Not to chide his son.
Because he finally saw it.
The late Orlando Sr., nicknamed Zeus, started 119 NFL games as an offensive lineman, and he had long hoped the edge that could turn his son’s enormous talent into something special would emerge.
