Jay Novacek has always been considered a “fan favorite” by Cowboys Nation. Once again, that rang true as the former tight end outlasted both Deion Sanders and Terrell Owens in the final two rounds to claim the title of “Moves of March” champion.
The fans voted Novacek as the Cowboys’ best free agent move in franchise history in a 16-player tournament field compiled by the staff of DallasCowboys.com.
Signed as a Plan B free agent in 1990, Novacek was key component to the Cowboys’ high-powered offense. Often considered a security blanket for Troy Aikman, Novacek made five straight Pro Bowls (1991-95) and was an All-Pro in 1992, when he set career-highs in catches (68) and TD receptions (six).
