Sad news that former Dallas linebacker Dave Edwards died earlier this week.
Edwards started ten games during his first two years in Dallas before taking over the strongside linebacker position in 1965. He remained the starter through the 1975 season, missing only one game between 1965 and 1975.
He became known as a playmaker in 1967 when he picked off three passes and made several other key plays. Against the Saints on October 15, 1967, Dallas was holding on to a 14-10 lead, but New Orleans was driving with 1:01 remaining.
