Chadwick Everett Brown (born July 12, 1970) is a former American football linebacker of the National Football League. He was originally drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the second round of the 1993 NFL Draft. He played college football at Colorado.
Born in Altadena, California, Brown graduated from John Muir High School in 1989. At the University of Colorado, Brown was a four-year starter on the Colorado Buffaloes football team.
Brown was initially drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the second round, and became an important part of the "Blitzburgh" defense. Initially, he played at the inside linebacker position in the 3-4 with Levon Kirkland. He started at right inside linebacker in Super Bowl XXX for the Steelers, a loss to the Dallas Cowboys. He then moved to the outside when Greg Lloyd was lost for the 1996 season due to injury, where he went to his first Pro Bowl after that season. His success would continue with the Seattle Seahawks, going to two more Pro Bowls in the 1990s.
He signed with the Patriots as a replacement for injured inside linebacker Tedy Bruschi in 2005. After several games of what was thought to be subpar performance at his new position, Brown spent most of the rest of the season only on special teams. In September of 2006, after re-signing with the Patriots, Brown was released by the Patriots as one of their final cuts. He then signed with the Steelers and finished the season on their injured reserve.
