Cowboys Hall of Fame DT/LB Randy White watches practice, impressed with DE DeMarcus Lawrence

[RS12]

One player in particular caught the eye of “The Manster.” White was impressed with second-year defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence.

“The guy can move like a cat. He’s pretty impressive out there,” White said. “He can be a game-changer out there if he can continue to improve and play the way he did at the end of last year. I think he’s going to be a great player for them.”

High praise from the Manster, who knows a thing or two about playing DL.

 

[Direwolf63]

The dude still looks like he can go out and play.

Was he ever a LB? Don't recall that at all.

He did for a while but fortunately, he was eventually moved to DT where he was a natural fit. The rest is history.

 

[Toruk_Makto]

Somewhat lost in the hype of Jones, Hardy, Collins and Gregory is Dlaw who finished a tough rookie year in very promising fashion. Glad to see mymy mpredicted breakout player I'd turning some heads.

 

[SportsGuru80]

D-Law has a chance to be pretty special... I can't wait to see him crashing in from the left end spot!

Yeah, it is. Music to my ears, too.

Drafted with Henderson the same year, right?

I wonder if Hollywood Henderson ever gives his motivational Speeches to the team as a reference of what not to do?

Do it right, and you get paid.

Flaw uses his hands well,he just needs to stay healthy.

I'd call getting Herb Scott in the 13th a bargain.

One of the best Cowboys nicknames of all time "The Manster" (half man half monster). Oooh Wheee!!

True. Great draft!

 

[darthseinfeld]

High praise from the Manster, who knows a thing or two about playing DL.

Also shows he follows the team closely considering how he talks about Tanks play at the end of the year

White was a DE at Maryland. Landry tried to to make him a MLB as a rookie. Kind of odd that Brandon George listed LB. I doubt he knows much about him and just looked it up.

You are correct:

High school career
Playing both defensive end and linebacker at Thomas McKean High School in Wilmington, Delaware, Randy is considered to this day the “Best All-Time Player” in the history of Delaware high school football.[1] Graduating in 1971, he was a star player in the state’s 15th annual Blue-Gold All-Star high school football game played each year since 1956 at the University of Delaware stadium to benefit DFRC and its programs to provide services to Delawareans with intellectual disabilities.[2]

College career
White was recruited by the University of Maryland and played as a fullback during his freshman year. While Maryland finished the year with only 2 wins, White did little worth noting during that year. During his sophomore season, new head coach Jerry Claiborne moved Randy to defensive end, noting that he had the skill to be "one of the best five linemen in the U.S." The move was a natural fit, as by his senior year, he was, as Claiborne put it, "as fast as some of the offensive backs I had coached." In that senior year (1974), he won numerous awards and honors, including the Outland Trophy, theLombardi Award, and the Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Year. Though Maryland lost in the Liberty Bowl that season to Tennessee, Randy was named the game's Most Valuable Player. In 1994, he was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame and in 2000 was named to ABC sports All-time All-America Team.[3][4]

 

[BAT]

Not so sure Randy was referring to Lawrence or to Gregory. Moves like a cat not normally associated with DLaw.

DLaw, Hardy and Gregory all on the field on 3rd and long.
