A Cowboy's Life

It's been said that Bob Lily is the greatest defensive tackle ever to put on a uniform. Known as "Mr. Cowboy", Lilly was first draft pick in Dallas franchise history, the team's first All-Pro, first Pro-Bowl selection, first Ring of honor member and the first Cowboy to be inducted into the elite franchise, the Pro-Football Hall of Fame. He was the first cornerstone of the Cowboy Dynasty.

Bob Lilly was the first draft choice of the then-new Dallas Cowboys in 1961. During his 14-year career with the Cowboys, he was named All-Pro seven times and played in 11 Pro Bowls. In 1980, he became the first Cowboy inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. After his retirement from football, he pursued his love of photography, and in 1984 published Reflections, a book of his photographs. He lives in Sun City, Texas.
