Great quarterback!!! Loved watching him scramble around like hell to miraculously save many calls gone bad from Coach Landry. Junior year Heisman winner from Navy. After graduation he spends a mandatory four years on active duty including service in Vietnam. Following his service to his country he spent 3 years as back-up quarterback behind Craig Morton before he was finally handed the full-time job. Once he secured the quarterback position he then takes his team to win their FIRST-EVER Super Bowls as well a SECOND one. Roger Staubach was definitely one of the VERY BEST quarterbacks in my book!!! Born Winner!!!
