"Some things are more important even than what football team you play for. First he was an Eagle. Then he was a Lion. Now he's an Eagle again. Whatever NFL jersey he's wearing, Brown understands the importance of working to end violence in our schools and among our kids.

Brown, who was traded to Detroit last week, only to return to the Eagles when the trade was voided, visited South Philadelphia High School Tuesday and spoke to the students about youth violence and how to stop it.

Brown started "23 Ways to Stop Youth Violence" while he played for the Dolphins, and is now working to end youth violence in inner-city Philadelphia. The "23 Ways to Stop Youth Violence" program operates in conjunction with Brown's "Ronnie Brown Project," the Eagles Youth Partnership, Power 99 and City Year of Greater Philadelphia."
