Most know Troy Aikman as a former Dallas Cowboys quarterback and three-time Super Bowl winner. Others only know him as one of the top football color commenters in the NFL. But recently, the NFL Network tried to bridge that knowledge gap with a special episode of The Football Life devoted to the Hall of Fame quarterback.
Former teammates like Michael Irvin and Emmitt Smith as well as former coaches in Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer and many others showered the 12-year veteran with praise throughout the one-hour special.
The program covered Aikman’s college years, his first couple rough seasons in Dallas, that legendary championship run and his disappointing retirement in 2001.
