Good read.........

From 1961 to 1988, a period of 28 seasons, the Dallas Cowboys starting DT was a generational Hall of Famer who set the tone for an historical dominant defense.

Here is the mind-blower:

Two players filled the position of RDT during that 28 year span with back-to-back 14 year careers,

Randy White missed two games as the starter during his 14-year career.

Bob Lilly never missed a single game in his 14-year career.

Bob Lilly and Randy White defined the position of DT in the NFL for almost three decades. Both were legendary run-stoppers and relentless pass rushers.

They both led at the position of DT during their eras.

Cowboys football used to be defined by the nature of their defensive leader, that Right Defensive Tackle.

Is Quinnen Williams that guy in today's NFL?
