From sixth-round pick to NFL starter as a rookie, Anthony Brown proved a lot of people wrong already.

The former Purdue cornerback showed that his blistering 40-yard dash time at the NFL combine wasn’t a fluke. He started nine games for the Dallas Cowboys after starting cornerback Morris Claiborne went down.

One could say that Brown played with “a chip on his shoulder.” In fact, Brown is such a believer in that motto that he got it tattooed on his shoulder.

Yes, that’s a chip along with “189,” which was the overall pick he was selected in the 2016 NFL draft:

While the phrase has become a bit cliché, Brown’s tattoo is about as original as they come. How many guys actually get a potato chip inked on their shoulder?

Mark Dantonio approves.
