Larry Brown
Super Bowl XXX MVP, 3x Super Bowl Champion, Dallas Cowboys

Larry Brown won Super Bowl MVP by picking off Neil O'Donnell twice. On January 28, 1996, in Tempe, the Cowboys cornerback intercepted two passes that both set up short Emmitt Smith touchdown runs, and Dallas beat Pittsburgh 27-17 for its third title in four years. He is one of only a handful of defensive backs ever named Super Bowl MVP.
A twelfth-round pick out of TCU in 1991, Brown started as a rookie and stayed a starter through the whole dynasty, winning rings in Super Bowls XXVII, XXVIII, and XXX. He made the Pro Bowl in 1996 and finished his career with 18 interceptions.
That Super Bowl performance made him one of the most memorable underdog stories in Cowboys history, and it turned a late-round pick into a permanent part of the franchise's greatest run. He is a great storyteller about those nineties teams.
