The Patriots announced today that receiver/returner Troy Brown has been voted by fans as the 18th player and 19th member enter the Patriots Hall of Fame. The induction ceremony will be held outside The Hall at Patriot Place on Sat. Sept. 15, the day before the Patriots 2012 regular season home opener against the Arizona Cardinals. In April, a 17-person nomination committee comprised of media, alumni, and staff selected three candidates for consideration for the Patriots Hall of Fame. The three finalists were Brown, former free safety Fred Marion (1982-91) and former Head Coach Bill Parcells (1993-96). “Troy Brown will always be special to me, as he was my sweetheart’s favorite player during his career,†said Patriots chairman and CEO Robert Kraft according to a statement released by the team. “Clearly, a lot of Patriots fans shared her sentiment and I am proud that we will honor Troy with his induction into the Patriots Hall of Fame this fall."
