TONY DORSETT-Tony Dorsett has achieved success at every level of football. From winning the Heisman Trophy to Super Bowl success, companies have come to rely on his winning attitude and success to inspire their organizations. Acknowledged as one of the best college running backs of all time, Dorsett was a four-time NCAA All-American, and his skills propelled Pittsburgh to win the NCAA Collegiate Championship in 1976. It was also in 1976 that Dorsett was awarded the Heisman Trophy, presented annually to the outstanding collegiate football player in the United States. In 1977, it was no surprise that Tony Dorsett was the number one NFL draft pick. He was quickly chosen by the Dallas Cowboys in the first round. And while the young man from Pennsylvania may not have been a household name when he got to Texas, it didn't take long for fans in Dallas to take notice. His exceptional performance during his first pro season won Dorsett consensus rookie-of-the-year honors for helping Dallas to become Super Bowl XXII Champions. During his 11 seasons with Dallas, Dorsett was renowned for his speed on the field and his uncanny ability to find holes between defenders. Long runs became Dorsett's specialty, and his record 99-yard touchdown run in 1983 against the Vikings remains unbroken. In 1982, Dorsett captured his first NFC rushing title, and he remains the fifth all-time leading rusher in the NFL. He is the only NFL runner to gain 1,000 yards in each of his first five seasons. He also broke Bob Hayes's club record for the most touchdowns and is the Cowboy's second all-time leading rusher. Book Tony Dorsett at Speakers.com. www.speakers.co...
