A real-life football version of “Captain America” himself, Roger Staubach was a Vietnam War veteran, Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback the at U.S. Naval Academy, and the first quarterback in NFL history to lead his team to the Super Bowl five times and the first of four players to ever win the Heisman Trophy and Super Bowl MVP (the latter of which he won after leading the Dallas Cowboys to a win in Super Bowl VI).

He might not have the Super Bowl wins of Troy Aikman or the stat totals of Tony Romo, but Staubach was the one who truly made playing quarterback for the Cowboys one of the most iconic positions in American sports.
