1. First and foremost
In his 14 seasons of professional football, Bob Lilly earned his title of Mr. Cowboy by being the first Dallas player to achieve, well, pretty much everything. The Cowboys traded the No. 2 pick in the 1961 NFL draft, their first as a franchise, but acquired the No. 14 pick from Cleveland and selected Lilly, making him the team’s first draft pick.
