An All-American at Syracuse, Daryl Johnston became the “Moose” in Big D when Dallas chose him with their Second Round Pick in 1989.
Johnston was listed as a Fullback/Running Back, but he was mostly a blocker and had far more yardage as a receiver. Paving the way for Emmitt Smith, Johnston was integral in Dallas’s three Super Bowls in the early 1990s dynasty, and he parlayed that popularity into a broadcasting and executive career.
Johnston is never in the Pro Football Hall of Fame conversation, but to Cowboy Nation, he was a legend. Many non-Cowboys fans will say the same.
Gary Anderson made a lot of history as a Place Kicker, the first of which was becoming the first South African to play a game in the NFL. Anderson would not just play a game or two, as he would play 353, which as of this writing, places him second all-time.
