HUNTINGTON – Omar Brown’s somewhat improbable trip to Super Bowl XLVII found him eating a dozen oysters every day while he was in New Orleans.

To say he found it all a pearl of an experience would be an understatement.

The former Marshall star safety went from undrafted free agent signee to a preseason eye-opener for Baltimore. He landed on the Ravens’ practice squad and even got a midseason tryout with the Philadelphia Eagles before eventually being activated by Baltimore.

And once he made the 53-man active roster, Brown stayed there through three playoff rounds and the NFL title game, although he was one of eight Ravens made inactive on game days (an NFL rule) in the postseason.
