Troy Aikman

Troy Aikman is the prototype of the efficient, no-nonsense pocket quarterback, and the Cowboys' three Super Bowls in four years still stand as one of the great dynasties. What I respect is how unselfish his game was: a stacked roster with Emmitt Smith and Michael Irvin meant Aikman didn't need gaudy stats, just precise reads and clutch throws. The concussions that ended his career are a sobering part of the story. His second act in the broadcast booth has been just as smooth, calm, prepared, and rarely wrong. A Hall of Famer twice over, on the field and on the call.

Troy Aikman is an American former professional football player and broadcaster born November 21, 1966, in West Covina, California. A quarterback who played college football at UCLA, he was the first overall pick of the 1989 NFL Draft and led the Dallas Cowboys to three Super Bowl titles in the 1990s. A Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee, he later became a leading television sports announcer for NFL broadcasts.
