The uber talented running back from the early 70's, Duane Thomas, passed away on Sunday. He was 77.
Many of y'all on here remember his superlative skills at the RB position, but many also remember his notoriety in the clubhouse his 2nd year, the Super Bowl VI year.
The article says Sunday night, but i didn't see anything on the board.
I was only 8 at the time of his great exploits on the gridiron but i do remember the great times of he and fellow Dallas Cowboys from that timeframe. He had only 2 decent seasons with the Cowboys before being traded away.
In the YT vid i am posting, you hear voices of Tom Landry and other Cowboys greats at that time of how they acknowledged his potential greatness but also the awkward tension that accompanied him in the locker room in 1971.
Tony Dorsett may be the "real" #33 for the Cowboys, .. but at the position, Duane Thomas was the original #33.
R.I.P. Mr. Thomas. Thanks for the memories.
