  1. I'm a huge Bob Lilly guy, so I'm gratified to find him at No. 2 on the Cowboys' all-time leaders in career AV (153).

    Also, big shoutout to Lee Roy Jordan, who comes in at T13 with Troy Aikman at 120. Jordan was a huge, huge star in my neighborhood--a frequent choice as the player one of us pretended to be in our games. I was saddened to see that he died over the weekend. Rest in peace, Lee Roy Jordan (1941-2025) of Excel, Alabama.
