Description
Kristopher "Kris" Clayton Brown is a football placekicker who is currently a free agent.
He was originally drafted in the seventh round of the 1999 NFL Draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers. In the first six years of his NFL career, he has converted 132 of 173 field goals (76%) and scored 573 points. He was a key player for the expansion Houston Texans, being their placekicker for the entirety of the team's existence until 2010. On September 12, 2010, Neil Rackers became the first kicker other than Brown to attempt (and make) a field goal for the Texans.
He has also played for the San Diego Chargers and Dallas Cowboys.
During his recent career with the Texans, Brown has raised $384,000 for Texas Children’s Hospital Charity Care Program through the program Kris Brown’s Kick Club. The program's mission is to provide hope, medical resources, and healing for patients at Texas Children's Hospital that do not have the ability to provide these for themselves and to increase community awareness about their needs. His involvement stemmed from a personal experience that Brown dealt with as a child. His sister April was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer at the age of 11. She recovered and has been in remission for 13 years. The support his family received during the ordeal served as the inspiration to form Kris Brown's Kick Club.
