and like Ditka, the remaining PFHOFers Cowboys from their first SB win (VI) are now all in their 80s..CHowley (90),BLilly (87), LAlworth (86), MRenfro (84),RStaubach (84).. as of today only about 1/2 of the starters on that team as still with us-very sad days coming in near future

first TE in PFHOF-and even after the evolution of the position that started in 1980s and really advanced in 2000s (as major receiving threats) he remains among the top TEs in NFL history, he put up number that were incredible for his era and decades ahead of what the position would be come..and that's not even discussing his coaching career
