Despite making the Pro Bowl last season at just 23 years old, Orlando Brown Jr still has to deal with people mistaking him for the other guy.
In a tweet on Friday, the Baltimore Ravens offensive lineman hilariously called for people to stop confusing him with Orlando Brown, the actor of “That’s So Raven” fame. Brown Jr did hint though at the likely reason why nobody can get it right — his team’s name sounds a lot like the name of the show that made the other Brown famous.
So I guess the other Orlando Brown said some crazy stuff againidk how many times I gotta say it…YOU GOT THE WRONG ONE!! I play for the Ravens, I was not on That’s So Raven.

Brown Jr, who was drafted by Baltimore in 2018 after earning All-American honors at Oklahoma, started all 16 games for them last year and was one of 13 Ravens to be selected to the Pro Bowl. His father, the late Orlando Brown Sr, also played in the NFL as an offensive tackle for the Ravens.
As for the actor Brown, who also appeared on shows like “Family Matters,” he has battled various legal issues in recent years. He was also trending recently after making outrageous claims about fellow actors like Will Smith and Nick Cannon, which probably explains why Brown Jr wants to distance himself.
All things considered, this is a bizarre and multi-layered case of mistaken identity, the likes of which we probably haven’t seen since the Miller brothers.
