The NFL has suspended New York Giants backup running back Andre Brown for four games for violating the league policy on performance-enhancing substances.

The 6-foot, 227-pound running back spent last season on the Giants' practice squad. However, he may be best known to fans as the Giant who started the popular "I got a ring!" celebration on the Giants' plane trip home after the Super Bowl. Brown's chant was recorded by a teammate and the video went viral.

The suspension, without pay for the team's first four games of the regular season, comes at a time when the Super Bowl champions had uncertainty surrounding their backfield.
