Chadwick Everett Brown (born July 12, 1970 in Pasadena, California) is an American football outside linebacker who currently plays for the Pittsburgh Steelers. He previously played for the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots and went to University of Colorado at Boulder. Brown played at the outside linebacker position for most of his career, but he signed with the Patriots as a replacement for injured inside linebacker Tedy Bruschi. 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, Brown was released by the Patriots as one of their final cuts.

In October 2006, Brown signed with the Steelers after a rash of injuries depleted their linebacking crew.

In addition to his football career, he also currently owns an exotic pets business called Pro Exotics, located in Denver, Colorado.
