[2] Brown was initially drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the second round, and became an important part of the "Blitzburgh" defense.

He started at right inside linebacker in Super Bowl XXX for the Steelers, a loss to the Dallas Cowboys.

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.

Brown was re-signed by the Patriots yet again on November 27, 2007, after linebacker Rosevelt Colvin was placed on season-ending injured reserve.

[6] Since his NFL career began, Brown has also operated a business named Pro Exotics that sells non-venomous snakes.
