The fact that the [[2008 NFL draft|2008 draft]] was infused with top-prospect quarterbacks whose playing styles are very similar to Brohm's was also a key argument for Brohm's possible entry in the 2007 draft, where the other first round-bound quarterbacks include the more diverse characters of [[Brady Quinn]] and [[JaMarcus Russell]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/sports/college/football/2007-01-02-notes_x.htm|title=Notebook: Louisville's Brohm ponders NFL Draft; Sooners' Peterson uncertain|author=Andy Gardiner|date=January 3, 2007|publisher=USA Today|work=usatoday.com|access-date=December 5, 2016}}</ref> However, Brohm eventually decided to return for his senior season for another shot at helping the [[Louisville Cardinals]] to a [[BCS National Championship]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/sports/college/football/bigeast/2007-01-15-louisville-brohm_x.htm|title=Brian Brohm passes on NFL, will return to Louisville next season|date=January 15, 2007|publisher=USA Today|work=usatoday.com|access-date=December 5, 2016}}</ref> Instead, [[2007 Louisville Cardinals football team|the team]] went 6–6.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://staugustine.com/stories/042408/sports_txt01_039.shtml |title=Brohm ready for his shot in NFL |author=Will Graves |date=April 24, 2008 |publisher=The St. Augustine Record |work=www.staugustine.com |access-date=January 16, 2017}}</ref>

Just days later, Brohm was signed to the [[practice squad]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://catholicsportsnet.com/louisville/articles/2010/8/20/uofl-teammates-working-to-start-together-in-nfl |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170118033153/http://catholicsportsnet.com/louisville/articles/2010/8/20/uofl-teammates-working-to-start-together-in-nfl |url-status=usurped |archive-date=January 18, 2017 |title=Former UL Teammates Have Same NFL Goal |author=Paul Najjar |date=August 20, 2010 |publisher=CatholicSportsNet.com, Inc. |work=www.catholicsportsnet.com |access-date=January 16, 2017}}</ref>

===Buffalo Bills===
Brohm was signed off the Packers practice squad by the [[Buffalo Bills]] on November 19, 2009, after the Bills waived [[Gibran Hamdan]]. He made his first NFL start on December 27, 2009, against the [[Atlanta Falcons]]. Buffalo lost the game 31–3. In the 2nd quarter of the same game, Brohm threw an 8-yard pass to wide receiver [[Terrell Owens]], giving the wideout his 1,000th career reception.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.gaffneyledger.com/news/2009-12-28/Sports/BRIEFS.html |title=Briefs |date=December 28, 2009 |publisher=Gaffney Ledger |work=www.gaffneyledger.com |access-date=January 16, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170118034220/http://www.gaffneyledger.com/news/2009-12-28/Sports/BRIEFS.html |archive-date=January 18, 2017 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

Brohm competed with [[Ryan Fitzpatrick]] and [[Trent Edwards]] for the starting quarterback position prior to the 2010 season. Edwards, however, was named starter prior to the first preseason game, with Fitzpatrick and Brohm alternating as second-string through the preseason. By the start of the regular season, Brohm had been demoted back to third string; when Edwards was released, he was moved back up to second string when Fitzpatrick became the starter. Brohm was given the start in the final game of the season, a 38–7 loss to the [[New York Jets]]. Brohm, a restricted free agent, was not re-signed by the Bills in the 2011 offseason, with the Bills having signed [[Brad Smith (American football, born 1983)|Brad Smith]] and [[Tyler Thigpen]] as backups to Fitzpatrick.{{citation needed|date=January 2017}}
