Sheldon Brown On SI Cover

posted by Brian Shoemaker on Tuesday, July 24, 2007

Former Gamecock and current Philadelphia Eagle Sheldon Brown will be featured on the cover of this week's Sports Illustrated, according to the official site of the Eagles. The cover photo is of Brown's bone-crushing tackle of New Orleans running back Reggie Bush during last year's NFL playoffs. Brown said of the hit:

"He was lucky. His elbow was pinned against his body, protecting his rib cage, or else I probably would have broken his rib. What did it feel like? That collision, I ­didn't feel nothing, because he was pretty much defenseless. It was like running through a cardboard box. Seriously. Cardboard box."
