Cincinnati Bengals
editBrewer was drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals in the third round (66th overall) in the 2001 NFL draft.[4] However shortly after being drafted by the Bengals, it was discovered that Brewer had a pack-a-day cigarette addiction.[5] As a rookie in 2001, Brewer did not see any game action due to a pulled groin. Brewer sat out of the May 2002 mini-camp and voluntary workouts due to a slightly torn hamstring.[6] He returned to practice on May 21, 2002.[7]
The Bengals promoted Brewer to be the number-one tight end after waiving Tony McGee.[7][8] Brewer was competing with Reggie Kelly, Matt Schobel, and Tony Stewart for the starting tight end position.[9] Despite suffering from a bruised kneecap, Brewer played in the first three games of the 2002 season.[1][6] In Week 3 on September 22, Brewer sprained his left knee.[10] Projected to be out for 3 to 4 weeks,[11] Brewer had knee surgery on October 28, 2002, and was placed on injured reserve one week later.[12][13] After battling with Schobel for the starting job once again in 2003, he was waived on August 31, 2003.[14]
Atlanta Falcons
editOne day after being waived by the Bengals, Brewer was claimed by the Atlanta Falcons.[2] During the 2003 season he made nine appearances,[1] mostly on special teams and goal line plays.[15] On March 2, 2004, Brewer re-signed with the Falcons.[16] He was waived on June 30, 2004.[17]
Washington Redskins
editOn July 21, 2004, Brewer signed with the Washington Redskins.[15][18] He was released on August 1, after the first day of training camp.[19]
San Diego Chargers
editFollowing his release from the Redskins, Brewer was invited to try out with the San Diego Chargers on May 4, 2005.[20] The Chargers signed Brewer on May 13.[21] Brewer missed some practices due to knee injury and was released on August 30, 2005.[22][23]
