  • Brigman P. Owens is a former American football player in the National Football League who played defensive back for the Dallas Cowboys and the Washington Redskins. Owens played college football at University of Cincinnati and was drafted in the seventh round of the 1965 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys. He was traded to the Redskins the following year, and remained on the team until he retired after the 1977 season. He played a significant role in leading the 1972 squad to Super Bowl VII and had a good performance in the game, recording a key interception from Miami Dolphins quarterback Bob Griese in the end zone during the second half. One of his more memorable performances occurred on during a 1966 regular season game against the New York Giants, where he scored two defensive touchdowns: a 62-yard interception return and a 62-yard fumble return. Washington ended up winning the game 72-41. To this day it is the highest scoring game in NFL history. Owens holds the record for most interception return yards in Redskins history (686) and is second all-time for the Redskins in career interceptions (36). Three of his interceptions were returned for touchdowns. He also recovered ten fumbles, returning them for 143 yards and two touchdowns. After the NFL, Owens finished law school and went to work with the NFL Players Association, serving as the assistant executive director. He also owned his own business, a commercial real estate development company which also represented professional athletes. Owens is a member of Alpha Phi Alpha, the first intercollegiate Greek-letter fraternity established for African Americans. Married to Patricia since 1965, the couple has two daughters, Robin and Tracy.
