Armed with great speed, quickness and physicality, Tarell Brown
started all 16 games and tallied a career-high 46 tackles and 4 interceptions
in 2011. Brown is known for possessing a very strong

opportunity, turned it into a positive situation and made their dream

• In 2007, Tarell was the recipient of the Thomas Herrion Award, honoring
the rookie or first-year player who has taken advantage of every
opportunity, turned it into a postive and made their dream come
true like Thomas Herrion. The award is voted on by the coaches.
• In June 2010, Tarell was recognized for his contributions to his
hometown, receiving a proclamation from the city of Mesquite.
• Tarell won the Punt, Pass & Kick Championship at Texas Stadium as a
9-year-old after advancing through the city and regional finals. He
was then flown to San Diego for the National Championships, where
he placed 3rd.
• Tarell is a tremendous example of perseverance. At the age of 9,
Tarell’s mother was killed as she was getting into her car to go to
work early one morning. Following his mother’s death, Tarell moved
in with his father, Robert, who not only saw football as an escape
for his son, but also as an opportunity for him to earn a scholarship
and a solid education. Just prior to the NFL Draft, his father died of
a heart attack on Valentine’s Day. “A day doesn’t go by that I don’t
think about my mother and father. Everything I do nowadays is dedicated
to my parents. I know without them, I wouldn’t be where I’m
now.”
• When his NFL career is over, Tarell is looking forward to working
with kids. “I want to open up a gym and train athletes, train kids. I like
to be around kids and I still want to be surrounded by sports. Maybe
have a little AAU basketball team and travel around to different cities
and states.”
• Tarell hosted his 3rd Annual Summer Sportsfest in Dallas in June
of 2010. The highlights of the weekend included free football and
cheerleading camps, in addition to a celebrity basketball game featuring
a large group of NFL players. Proceeds raised through the
raffle and celebrity basketball game benefitted Tarell’s Born Again
Foundation. The foundation is dedicated to becoming the nation’s
foremost full-service, ex-offender program. It provides an opportunity
for all ex-offenders who desire a significant change to make
a positive transition into a new life. The foundation offers job counseling,
educational and vocational training, and personal and family
support to all who desire to not be defined by negativity in their
past. Visit TarellBrown.net for additional information.
