Bob Lilly, 83, Dallas Cowboys

Nicknamed “Mr. Cowboy,” Robert Lewis Lilly is a former defensive tackle who played for the Dallas Cowboys for 14 seasons. After playing college football at TCU Horned Frogs, he went on to become the first draft choice in franchise history and was a part of Dallas’ vaunted Doomsday Defense.

As a tackle, Lilly was a first-team All-NFL choice every year from 1964 through 1969 and was regularly double and triple-teamed due to his impact on the games. He was inducted into both the Pro Football Hall of Fame and the College Football Hall of Fame. Sports Illustrated even named him one of the ten most revolutionary defensive players.
