John Niland: Cowboys Legend Remembered | Birmingham News
Description
Dallas Cowboys legend John Niland, a cornerstone of the team’s first Super Bowl victory in 1972, has died at age 82. A five-time Pro Bowler and three-time All-Pro, he was drafted fifth overall in 1966 and spent nine seasons with Dallas before finishing with the Eagles. A standout at Iowa, Niland’s legacy includes paving the way for future generations — and his brain will be donated to research on sports-related brain health. Survived by his wife and two daughters, his impact on the game remains unforgettable.
