Britt Brown is in his 24th year as an athletic trainer
in the NFL and his 20th as a member of the
Cowboys athletic training staff. Brown supervises the
Cowboys medical rehabilitation program and assists
with treatment programs.
In 2014 Brown helped get Tyrone Crawford back
on the field after tearing his Achilles early in the 2013
training camp. Crawford went on to start all 15
games he played and tallied 3.0 sacks en route to
being voted the club’s Ed Block Courage Award winner.
Brown also helped with the rehab of Tony Romo,
who underwent back surgery early in the 2014 season.
Romo missed just one game in 2014 and finished
with his most efficient season, leading the NFL
with career-bests and club-records for rating (113.2)
and completion percentage (69.9%).
One of Brown’s biggest charges came before the
2012 season started as Jason Witten suffered a
spleen injury in the preseason. Brown’s work in
Witten’s rehab process allowed the perennial Pro
Bowler to return in time to start the season, play all
49
16 games and earn his eighth trip to the Pro Bowl.
For his work in 2012, Brown was named the 2012
NFC Assistant Athletic Trainer of the Year.
Prior to coming to Dallas, Brown spent four years
(1992-95) with the Miami Dolphins as an assistant
athletic trainer. Brown currently serves as the
Program Coordinator for the NFL/Professional
Football Athletic Trainers Society (PFATS) Ethnic
Minority Scholarship. Following the 2002 season,
Brown and the Cowboys athletic training staff were
recognized as the NFL Athletic Training Staff of the
Year by their peers. Named in honor of Ed Block – a
former Baltimore Colts head athletic trainer – the
award is given annually to the athletic training staff
that exemplifies courage, compassion, commitment
and community.
Before joining the Dolphins, Brown was the head
basketball athletic trainer and assistant football athletic
trainer at Southern Methodist University from
1989-92, where he also coordinated travel for the
Mustangs basketball team. While earning a degree in
