FRISCO, Texas – Taco Charlton doesn’t have many memories of watching Leon Lett play for in the ‘90s. He was born 10 months after Lett and the Cowboys won a second straight Super Bowl in 1994.
Charlton’s father Norm, a longtime Cowboys fan, remembers “Big Cat” well.
“My dad actually told me about him because obviously he watched him more than I did when I was a kid,” Taco said. “He was a great player. Long leverage kind of like me, big tall guy.”
Lett is now in his seventh year as Cowboys assistant – and he seems like a perfect resource for the team’s first-round pick.
