Roger Staubach's Top 5 Iconic and Valuable Vintage Football Cards
In this story:
Roger Staubach received a nod of respect recently when Dallas Cowboys' quarterback Dak Prescott wore Staubach's #12 jersey before and after the team's week two game on September 20, 2026.
What's more is that Prescott broke the all-time Cowboys' passing touchdown record during that game. That same record was once held by Roger Staubach who is one of the best NFL QBs to ever play.

Staubach's Incredible Life
Roger Staubach has accumulated many admirable accomplishments throughout his life, including his college football career with the Navy Midshipmen, and his military service to his country. Staubach won the Heisman in 1963 with NAVY.
The Dallas Cowboys selected Staubach in the 1964 NFL draft in the 10th round. He was available in this late round because it was know that he would need to complete his military service after the Naval Academy. Staubach did just that and served in the Navy from 1965 until 1969 including a year-long deployment to Vietnam.
He joined the Dallas Cowboys in 1969 at the age of 27 and won the starting job in 1971 and won his first Super Bowl that season.
