My Take
I have a soft spot for Daryl Johnston, because his greatness was the unglamorous kind. As the Dallas Cowboys fullback nicknamed Moose, his job was to clear the path so others scored, eleven seasons of selfless blocking in service of the team. After football he turned that football intelligence into a broadcasting career and front-office work. To me he embodies the aesthetic of the indispensable supporting player, the man who makes everyone around him better. From Syracuse to the NFL, his story is a reminder that winning teams are built on people willing to do the quiet, thankless work.
