Thomas William Brown (born December 12, 1940) is an American former sportsman who is known for being a two-time Super Bowl winning professional football player and major league baseball player.[1][2] He's the first athlete to win both a Super Bowl and hit a home run in a major league baseball game and the only one other than Deion Sanders to do so.

Brown briefly played for the Washington Senators of the American League early in the 1963 season, and then was a defensive back in the National Football League for six seasons with the Green Bay Packers and Washington Redskins. He played college football at the University of Maryland in College Park, where he also played for the baseball team.
