He was drafted in the fourth round of the1996 NFL draft by theIndianapolis Colts.[1] He was waived before the season started and claimed by theCincinnati Bengals where he played for four seasons.

Milne last played for theNew Orleans Saints with whom he was a part of play in the 2000 wild card playoff game against theSt. Louis Rams, in which Milne recovered the muffed punt offAz-Zahir Hakim with less than 2 minutes left to help the Saints record their first ever playoff win. Saints announcerJim Henderson made the call:
Hakim drops the ball! Hakim drops the ball! Brian Milne might have fallen on it at the 10 yard line! It's the New Orleans Saints' football! Brian Milne, the most unlikely hero of them all, falls on the fumble, the muff by Hakim! There is a God after all!
Milne had a career at Penn State University, where Head CoachJoe Paterno held a scholarship for Milne as he recovered from cancer treatments as a teenager. As a member of the Nittany Lions in early November 1994 at Illinois, he scored three touchdowns (including the game-winner) in a Penn State victory under Paterno. Penn State went on to beat Oregon in the Rose Bowl to become the first Big Ten team to earn a 12-0 record, finishing second in the polls.
