Larry Brown, Jr. (born November 30, 1969) is a former American football cornerback in the National Football League for the Dallas Cowboys and the Oakland Raiders. He is mostly known for being named the MVP of Super Bowl XXX. Brown was a starting cornerback on all three Dallas Cowboys championship teams of the nineties. He attended Texas Christian University (TCU) in Fort Worth, Texas.
He was a two-sport athlete at Los Angeles High School, earning All-City honors in football and track.
After not receiving any scholarship offers, he began his collegiate career at Los Angeles Southwest College as a running back. He was moved to cornerback during his sophomore season, at the end of which he transferred to Texas Christian University.
At TCU he was a starter from his first game, leading the team in pass deflections during his senior season.
In 1990, he was invited to the Blue–Gray Football Classic where he earned MVP honors.
Brown was drafted in the 12th round of the 1991 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys. Although there weren't many expectations for him at the start of preseason, he surprised the coaches with his play, even though he quit training camp for a few days because of personal reasons and also had a brief hospitalization that was thought to be appendicitis.
