The guy wearing out the industrial strength treadmill at D-1 Fitness looked familiar, though slightly smaller than the last time we met.

Yet even wearing two heavy sweat suits in 90-degree heat couldn’t keep Tony Brown from flashing his lightning white smile.

“I’ve worked out every day since last August,” said Brown, the former Tennessee Titan who was let go a year ago after tearing up his right knee the previous season.

“I didn’t want to go out with an injury. I want to walk away on my own.”

A call from former Tennessee Titans coach Jeff Fisher – now the head man with the St. Louis Rams – means he’ll have a chance to make that wish come true.
