Tyler Brown enters his fourth season as a member of the Philadelphia Eagles' coaching staff. He was promoted to special teams assistant in 2023 after joining the team as a special teams quality control coach (2021-22).
Brown played a key role in the success of the Eagles' special teams in 2023, when the group finished first in special teams DVOA (4.2 pct.), fifth in Pro Football Focus special teams grade (89.0), and 10th in Rick Gosselin's annual special teams rankings (322.0 composite score).
With Brown's assistance in 2023, kicker Jake Elliott was honored as a second-team All-Pro by the Associated Press after setting a franchise record in field goal percentage (93.8 pct., 30-of-32) and producing a career high in points (135, fifth in team history). Furthermore, punter Braden Mann established club marks in gross (49.8) and net (43.9) punting averages during his first season in Philadelphia. Britain Covey also led the league in punt return yards (417) and garnered recognition as a Pro Bowl alternate.
During the 2022 season, when the Eagles appeared in Super Bowl LVII, Brown supported a unit that tallied three NFC Special Teams Player of the Week performances. He aided Covey to the third-most punt return yards (308, eighth in the NFL) and third-best punt return average (9.3, ninth in the NFL) in the NFC. In addition, Zech McPhearson posted seven special teams tackles, which were the most by an Eagles gunner in seven seasons.
In his first year with the team, Brown assisted a group that was highlighted by Elliott, who earned his first career Pro Bowl nod after notching a then-franchise-record 90.9 field goal percentage (30-of-33). Elliott finished the season as one of three NFL kickers to convert 90-plus percent of their field goals and 100 percent of their extra-point attempts (44-of-44).
Prior to the Eagles, Brown served as a special teams graduate assistant (2019-20) and special teams analyst (2016-18) at Michigan. As a member of head coach Jim Harbaugh's staff, Brown helped the Wolverines earn top-12 special teams rankings in 2016 (third), 2018 (12th) and 2019 (fourth). He also guided punters Kenny Allen, Will Hart (twice) and Brad Robbins and kicker Quinn Nordin to All-Big Ten accolades. In addition, Hart earned All-America honors under Brown's tutelage in 2018.
From 2014-15, Brown worked as a special teams consultant at Temple under head coach Matt Rhule.
Brown was mentored by his father, Randy, who has been a kicking consultant for over 30 years at the NFL and collegiate levels. Randy is currently a special teams coach with the Baltimore Ravens and previously worked with Philadelphia during the 2004-05 seasons.
While at Rowan (Glassboro, NJ), Brown privately trained specialists and established a track record of working with some of the top high school kickers in New Jersey, coaching multiple all-state and all-conference players.
A native of Marlton, NJ, who prepped at Camden Catholic High School (Cherry Hill, NJ), Brown graduated from Rowan in 2014 with a bachelor's degree in education and spent time teaching health and physical education at Berlin Community School (Berlin, NJ).
