The story of Troy Aikman's career would not be complete without mentioning John Madden, and the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback reacted to the football legend's death Tuesday.
"John Madden was a treasure," Aikman tweeted. "He was a gift. And he was an incredible friend."
Madden will forever be linked to Aikman since he and Pat Summerall were in the announcing booth during so many of the Cowboys' games during the 1990s as the iconic franchise played its way to three Super Bowl titles.
The NFL announced that Madden died unexpectedly at the age of 85.
