Ronald Brown (born April 28, 1964) is a former American football linebacker who played in the National Football League (NFL) from 1987 to 1989 for the San Diego Chargers and then traded to the Los Angeles Raiders.[1] [2] He was selected by the Chargers in the eighth round of the 1987 NFL draft.[3] Brown forsook what might have been a promising track career to play football. While at High School in 1982, he had the seventh-fastest prep high hurdles time in the country, 13.82 seconds.
He recalled that he regularly beat Danny Harris of Perris High in the 300-meter low hurdles. Harris went on to earn a silver medal in the 400-meter hurdles at the 1984 Olympic Games.
Brown's hurdling career took a detour in 1983 when he tore ligaments in his left knee, requiring surgery. A football-related injury to his right knee forced him to red-shirt in 1984.[4]
