Fifty years ago, legendary head coach Tom Landry welcomed an unprecedented 12 rookies to his team, a mix of players and personalities headlined by Hall of Famer Randy White who would carry the Dallas Cowboys into a new era of greatness. They were talented. They were driven. They were the Dirty Dozen.

Three first-round picks - one unstoppable unit. Tyron Smith, Travis Frederick, and Zack Martin transformed the Dallas Cowboys' offensive line into a force of dominance. Together, they built The Wall 2.0 and anchored a new era of Dallas Cowboys football.

Being one of the greatest special teams coaches in NFL history is usually enough to describe a person, but Joe Avezzano was even more than that. He was an entertainer, a family man, and so much more!
