Charles Edward Brown (October 26, 1928 – August 2, 2007) was an American professional football player who was a quarterback and punter in the National Football League (NFL).
Brown went to high school in San Luis Obispo, California, and Hartnell College in Salinas, California. He played for the University of San Francisco Dons through 1951. On his senior year (1951), he quarterbacked the Dons to an undefeated 9–0 season, but the team did not receive a bowl invitation.
Despite the increasing integration of college and pro football, the major bowls that year did not select teams that had black players, or they asked the teams to not bring their black players. The Dons refused to send a white-only squad, so they were snubbed. The 1951 Dons featured Ollie Matson and Burl Toler, both superb players who happened to be African-American. Matson played with great success in the NFL and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in
