Staubach was born in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1942, and attended the U.S. Naval Academy, where he was a standout athlete. After graduating in 1965, he served in the Navy for four years before joining the Cowboys in 1969.
Staubach quickly established himself as one of the premier quarterbacks in the NFL. He was known for his strong arm, accuracy, and ability to make plays out of nothing. He led the Cowboys to five NFC Championship games and two Super Bowl victories. He was named the Most Valuable Player of Super Bowl VI, and was selected to six Pro Bowls.
Staubach retired after the 1979 season, and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1985. He is one of only two players in NFL history to have won both the Heisman Trophy and a Super Bowl.
Staubach's career was marked by excellence and leadership. He was a leader both on and off the field, and his impact on the Cowboys and the NFL is still felt today. He is remembered as one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, and his legacy will live on for many years to come.

Roger Staubach Discusses a Late Hit He Received In Philadelphia And Craig Morton / In 1971, Morton began the season as the starter, but after a loss to the New Orleans Saints, Staubach assumed the role. However, in a game against the Chicago Bears during the seventh week of that season, coach Tom Landry alternated Staubach and Morton on each play, sending in the quarterbacks with the play call from the sideline. Dallas gained almost 500 yards of offense but committed seven turnovers that resulted in a 23–19 loss to a mediocre Bears squad that dropped the Cowboys to 4–3 for the season, two games behind the Washington Redskins in the NFC East race.
