Danny Brabham (February 25, 1941 – January 22, 2011) was an American football player who played collegiately at linebacker for the University of Arkansas, and for six seasons in the American Football League (AFL) for the Houston Oilers and the Cincinnati Bengals.[1]

Brabham died in his home in Prairieville, Louisiana, on January 22, 2011.[2] He was one of at least 345 NFL players to be diagnosed after death with chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), caused by repeated hits to the head.[3][4]
