Britt Brown is in his 30th year as an athletic trainer in the NFL and his 26th as part of the Cowboys athletic training staff. As associate athletic trainer/director of rehabilitation, Brown supervises the Cowboys medical rehabilitation program and assists with treatment programs.
Following a challenging and unprecedented 2020 season, Brown and the Cowboys athletic training staff were recognized as the NFL Athletic Training Staff of the Year by their peers. Brown worked extensively with quarterback Dak Prescott in his rehab to return from a gruesome ankle injury suffered in the 2020 season and helped Prescott to establish a franchise-record and career-best 37 passing touchdowns in his first season back on the field. For his performance, Prescott earned the 2022 Ed Block Courage Award from his peers.
In preparing for the 2019 season, Brown was tabbed to help Travis Frederick (Guillain-Barré syndrome) return to action. In addition to missing the 2018 season with the illness, Frederick underwent abdominal and shoulder surgeries during the 2019 offseason. Brown's work helped return the perennial Pro Bowler to form, playing all 16 games to earn his fifth career all-star nod and the club's Ed Block Courage Award.
Following the 2018 season, Brown was inducted in the Lampasas Football Hall of Fame for his accomplishments off the playing field.
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.
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 secondary education/biology with an emphasis in athletic training (1982-87) and a master's degree in physical education/exercise physiology (1988-89) from Texas Christian University, he worked with the Horned Frogs football and baseball teams as a student athletic trainer. Brown worked as a part-time assistant athletic trainer for the Cowboys in 1986 and 1987 while attending TCU.
A native of Lampasas, Texas, Brown has a son, Chase, and two daughters, Sydney and Payton.
