Brett Alan Conway (born March 8, 1975) is a former professional American football player. He was a placekicker for seven seasons with various teams in the National Football League. He was drafted in the third round (#90 overall) by the Green Bay Packers in the 1997 NFL Draft. Conway played college football at Penn State, where his 276 career points rank him second all-time, and his 119 consecutive extra points are a school record.
He kicked in four bowl games: Citrus, Rose, Outback, and Fiesta.
Conway was drafted by the Packers with the anticipation of him replacing the Packers' former stalwart kicker, Chris Jacke. However, Conway struggled in the pre-season, not making a single field goal in any of the preseason games, and was cut from the team at the end of training camp. The Packers instead went with undrafted free agent Ryan Longwell, who went on the break the Packers' team record for career points.
