Dallas Cowboys cornerback Anthony Brown wants the world to know that he plays with a chip on his shoulder, so he got a tattoo of a potato chip to prove it.
Anthony Brown is coming off a solid rookie season with the Dallas Cowboys. He had 51 combined tackles, eight passes defended and a forced fumble. It’s because he plays with a chip on his shoulder as the former No. 189 pick of the 2016 NFL Draft out of Purdue University.
Brown wants everybody to know about his draft position and that he likes potato chips, Ruffles in particular. That’s because he got a chip and the number 189 tattoo on his right shoulder.
When people say some has a chip on their shoulder, they’re talking about British lumber yards and not Wavy Lay’s.

If you didn’t know who football was or who the Cowboys were, people would just think that Brown’s personal best for Ruffles consumption is 189. So he ate a bag of chips that one time?Nice!
The tattoo can be concealed easily with a shirt, but he’s got no chance at a Pringles sponsorship. Brown could grow a Mike D’Antoni “Seven Seconds or Less” Phoenix mustache, but P&G, Pringles parent company isn’t going to sign him to a long-term extension. Are we sure the Cowboys are going to do that, too?
Ruffles may have ridges, but they don’t taste like championships. They taste like salty chips because that’s what they are. Brown’s tattoo is thankfully not misspelled, because that would have been really awkward, right?

At the end of the day, more power to this guy for playing with literally a potato chip on his shoulder. You know, you can’t spell championship without chip, so maybe Brown’s onto something …
