Rebecca Page’s only link to the NFL is Jason Brown, a fellow North Carolinian, whose connection these days to the NFL is but a footnote. Once the starting center for the St. Louis Rams, Brown was cut free from his $37.5 million contract following the 2011 season. That deal, which he signed as a free agent in 2009, came with a $20 million guarantee. He wasn’t hurting for money when the end came in St. Louis.
Rather than keep chasing pigskin and greenbacks, Brown, then age 28, chose life on a tractor, tilling his 1,000-plus-acre farm, including the many acres he planted in Louisburg, N.C., with the sole intent of giving food away to the hungry.
