Brandon Chillar's Heritage

Brandon Chillar's olive skin, light green eyes, and dark hair are the physical features many girls lust after (word to the wise: the Green Bay Packers site lists his status as single).


What he has was given to him by his mama (thanks, will.i.am for the line)...and his dad. Brandon Chillar's mother is Irish-Italian and his father, Ram Chillar, is Indian. In fact, Ram was born in India and worked in his village outside New Delhi until making it over to America as a teen.

Few NFL players today are Indian so Brandon Chillar is often the subject of interviews with Indian papers and sites. However, Brandon himself has never been to India and describes himself simply as American.

Born and raised in California, Brandon Chillar got into football at a young age and did very well on his high school team. He then played for the UCLA team and started 35 of 49 games throughout his career.

Following UCLA, Chillar was drafted to the St. Louis Rams in the 4th round and came to the Green Bay Packers in 2008. He's a great addition to the team and we can't wait to see what's in store for this guy!

Brandon Chillar here to stay

Many NFL football players seem to come out of California and Brandon Chillar is no exception. Born in Los Angeles, Chillar grew up in a small town near San Diego where he was a football star. After graduating high school, Chillar went on to play for the University of California Bruins football team. This Pac-10 school gained Brandon huge recognition. Over his four seasons, Chillar earned First-team All-Pack-10 and led his team in multiple career-highs.

Upon graduation from UCLA, Chillar was snatched up by the St. Louis Rams in the fourth-round draft pick in the 2004 NFL Draft. Brandon Chillar signed a four year contract with the Rams and soon proved to his teammates that he belonged in the big leagues. After the four years, Chillar decided to sign on with the Green Bay Packers for over three times as much as what was offered by the Rams in his first season.

Brandon Chillar proved to be a force on the field, provoking the Packers to offer another four-year contract for $21 million which, of course, he took immediately. Brandon Chillar loves playing with the Green Bay Packers and is here to stay.
