They say the anger is a vital element for success. To be angry is to unleash the resting beast within and wake him. NFL is a highly competitive league, with everyone trying to do their best. Unleashing anger works in the favor of players. Players too, have gone above and beyond to harness this aggressive side for better results in the playing arena.

Following suit, one of the NFL veterans has also taken the path. Revealing a tattoo, the cornerback has found the internal drive to dominate the league. It was the body ink art that holds the key to reminding the Pittsburgh Steelers and a former Dallas Cowboys of his objectives. No wonder that the ink art has augured well in reviving the cornerback’s career.

Anyone who has followed the NFL right through the last 7 years knows what an enigma is Anthony Brown. These sorts of players come once in a generation and leave an instant impact. However, the monumental rise of Brown wasn’t without a massive setback. Cut to the 2016 NFL drafts, Brown fell to the no. 189 overall.

The NFL veteran went one step ahead and embodied it in the form of a tattoo. That event was a life-changing one for the cornerback. Over a stellar 7 seasons with the Cowboys, Brown recorded 324 tackles, defended 57 passes, and conducted 9 interceptions.
