Notre Dame Football: Tim Brown enters the world of NFT’s
By Brad Weiss
Tim Brown is one of the most decorated wide receivers in football history, and the former Notre Dame Football star is now entering the world of NFT’s.
In college and professional football, there have been only ten men who have won the Heisman Trophy and then gone on to be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. One of those men is Tim Brown, the dynamic former Notre Dame football playmaker who carved out one of the more decorated careers in football history.
During his time with the Irish, Brown became arguably the best collegiate wide receiver in history, becoming the first wideout to ever win the Heisman Trophy. The product of Woodrow Wilson (TX) High School, Brown got it going early in his Notre Dame Football career, hauling in a freshman-record 28 catches, a sign of what was to come for him in South Bend.
From there, Brown would only get better, finishing his career by racking up a Notre Dame-record 5,024 all-purpose yards, while finding the end zone 22 times.
To celebrate his amazing career, Hall of Fame Resort and Entertainment Company in a partnership with Dolphin Entertainment and H2H, have worked with Brown to launch two NFTs (non-fungible tokens). These NFT’s were created by incredible artists and will be available on OpenSea.
One of the NFTs is a 1-of-1, and this one is a journey through his amazing career. The legend himself narrates some of the biggest moments of his life in football. Designed by Shane Griffin, this NFT is produced by Dolphin Entertainment, and also comes with a virtual meet-and-greet call from Tim to the auction winner’s person of choice, a personalized Notre Dame or Raiders official jersey, and two tickets to a future Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement Ceremony of the winner’s choosing.
Brown will also have a second NFT, which will be numbered to 100 called “Playbooks”, and will show defining moments from his career, experienced through the visor of a helmet. The person who gets No. 100 of these playbooks will get a personalized Notre Dame or Raiders helmet.
We spoke with the Notre Dame Football legend on Monday
Speaking with Brown on Monday, he spoke about how he choose the moments to be included in his NFTs:
"With the moments, there are things that stand out, like winning the Heisman Trophy and getting 1,000 catches. We were able to capture my time with the Raiders, at Notre Dame, and my high school, three incredible institutions."
Brown also discussed what it meant to be in the elusive group of ten to win the Heisman and go to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
"I had to google that when I heard about it. But seriously, to be the only wide receiver of this group, and to be able to do something like this for the fans, is definitely special."
Notre Dame Football has had their fair share of legendary players, but Brown is in a class all by himself. He is one of the few players in football history who dominated on the collegiate, and pro levels, and by the time he was done in South Bend, he held nearly 20 program records.
