Daryl “Moose” Johnston received national recognition for his play in 1993, becoming the first fullback selected to the NFC Pro Bowl team. It was not for his ability to carry the ball that Johnston earned this or All-Pro honors from Sports Illustrated, but instead for his powerful blocking and the fact he finished third on the team with 50 catches. An All-American and All-East pick at Syracuse in 1988, Johnston rushed for 1,830 yards and caught 46 passes during his collegiate career. An athlete and scholar, he graduated first in his high school class of 290 students with a 4.0 GPA, and received his B.A. in Economics from Syracuse. Since retiring from the Dallas Cowboys after the 1999 season, Daryl has moved into the broadcast booth as a color analyst first with CBS and now Fox Sports for NFL football games.
