Larry Brown, Jr. (born November 30, 1969 in Miami, Florida) is a former NFL cornerback for the Dallas Cowboys and Oakland Raiders. He is most known for being named the MVP of Super Bowl XXX. In that game, Brown's two interceptions of Pittsburgh Steelers' quarterback Neil O'Donnell helped lift the Cowboys to their third championship in four seasons. Brown was a cornerback on all three championship teams.
Brown became a free agent immediately after his MVP performance and used his award as leverage to gain a lucrative contract with the Oakland Raiders. After playing just 12 games in two years for the Raiders, he returned to Dallas for the 1998 season, which would be the last year of his playing career. He retired wih with 14 career interceptions, which he returned for a total of 210 yards and 2 touchdowns. He also recorded 2 fumble recoveries.
Currently, Brown is a cohost of "Countdown to Kickoff" on Sports Radio 1310 The Ticket, the flagship station of the Dallas Cowboys Radio Network.
