Punters are people, too, and Ron Widby proved just that during his time with the Cowboys.

Widby was a fourth-round selection by the New Orleans Saints in the 1967 NFL Draft and was selected in the ABA and NBA drafts of the same year.

He spent one year in the ABA before returning his focus to football, which led to him being signed by the Dallas Cowboys.

Widby spent four seasons with the Cowboys, earning Pro Bowl honors in the 1971 season, which happened to be the same season the Cowboys grabbed the Lombardi Trophy. Widby, known for his versatile athleticism, proved that he could do it on the basketball court and the football field.

He is a perfect representative for the number 10 and the franchise.
