In his rookie season, Brown started the first nine games of the season. He rotated between right guard and left guard. Unfortunately, the Rams posted him on injured reserve for the rest of the season after a lower leg fracture.<\/p>\n<p>In his second season, Brown was able to show the versatility he had on the offensive line. He was able to play four out of the five positions on the line excluding center. He played in 11 games that season, but only started in five of them.<\/p>\n<p>Brown had his best season in his third year when the Rams brought in <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/coaches\/McVaSe0.htm\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sean McVay<\/a><\/strong> as their new head coach. He started all 16 games at right guard for the Rams, who were able to clinch a playoff berth for the first time for the first time since 2004.<\/p>\n<p>Brown came into the 2018 season expecting to be the starter. However, on July 3rd, he was suspended by the NFL for two games for violating the NFL&#8217;s substance abuse policy. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/B\/BlytAu00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Austin Blythe<\/a><\/strong> took over for Brown, who held the starting job upon his return. The Rams waived Brown on October 30th. Fortunately for Brown, the <a href=\"http:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/giants\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">New York Giants<\/a> claimed him off of waivers the next day. He started all eight games at right guard for the Giants. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.profootballfocus.com\/nfl\/players\/jamon-brown\/9505\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pro Football Focus<\/a>, Brown finished the season with a grade of 52.1.<\/p>\n<p>Brown was born in raised in Louisville, KY. He attended Fern Creek High School in Louisville. He committed to play college football locally with the Louisville Cardinals. Brown was a two-year starter there and made second-team all-ACC in 2014.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"g6azCSDZQyJApe0YxWtlqQ\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1074738396\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'g6azCSDZQyJApe0YxWtlqQ',sig:'aNzlqi2h1XLLwzyh2IvkvH6awvDv39W2963hirWFMm4=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1074738396',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jamon Brown started eight games at right guard last season for the New York Giants after being waived by the Los Angeles Rams. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2867,"featured_media":60643,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"1","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"329","footnotes":""},"categories":[36,27,34,20],"tags":[4547,4914,1465],"class_list":["post-60346","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl-news","category-falcons","category-rams","category-giants","tag-2019-nfl-season","tag-austin-blythe","tag-sean-mcvay"],"modified_by":"David Latham, Managing Editor","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60346","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2867"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=60346"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60346\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/60643"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=60346"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=60346"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=60346"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
