Doug Brown will long be remembered as not only one of the greatest defensive linemen in Blue Bomber and Canadian Football League history, but one of the greatest players, period.

Originally drafted by the Calgary Stampeders, Brown headed south first and suited up for both the Washington Redskins and Buffalo Bills. And when it came time to return to Canada, a contract dispute with the Stamps saw the Bombers pull off one of the greatest trades in franchise history, landing Brown for first and third-round draft picks (the first rounder turned out to be Jon Oosterhuis, who never played for Calgary but found a home here and became one of Brown’s best friends).

Brown was a force from the interior of the defensive line, named to the CFL All-Star Team seven times and the league’s top Canadian in 2001.
