I was fortunate to meet Bob Lilly a few times as a child, my dad was best friends with Al Ward who was directly under Tex Schramm I believe and we used to go stay in the same hotel they did in Dallas for a couple of games a year, I recall eating breakfast in the hotel and Bob Lilly and Dave Manders came and sat down next to me, one to the right and one to the left, I felt like a dwarf, they were such great guys to take the time to listen to a starstruck kid who cherishes the memory 33 years later. On that same trip Craig Morton was late to a meeting and got totally chewed out.
