Roger Staubach, sometimes known as “Captain America,” is a former NFL player from the United States. Staubach joined the Dallas Cowboys in 1969 and spent his whole 11-year career with the team.
Five times, Staubach guided his club to the Super Bowl. He also led the Cowboys to Super Bowl VI and Super Bowl XII triumphs. Staubach was voted Super Bowl VI’s Most Valuable Player.
Roger Staubach has a net worth of $600 million as of 2022, making him the richest NFL player on the planet.
The Cowboys selected Staubach in the tenth round of the 1964 NFL Draft as a “future” player.
The NFL permitted the Cowboys to pick him one year before his collegiate eligibility ended (since he was four years out of high school), but he would not play professionally until 1969, as a 27-year-old rookie, due to his four-year military commitment.
He was also picked in the 16th round (122nd overall) of the 1964 American Football League Draft by the Kansas City Chiefs, who gave him a future selection.
He attended the Cowboys’ rookie camp while still in the Navy in 1968, eating up the majority of his annual military vacation. Staubach withdrew from the Navy just in time to attend the Cowboys’ training camp in 1969.
With Craig Morton at quarterback, the Cowboys won the inaugural NFC title in 1970 but were defeated by the Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl V, falling by three points on a last-second field goal.
