About Tony Dorsett
Oh man, Tony Dorsett is an absolute legend, one of those Cowboys running backs that just had that special something. The guy was tearing up the league through the 80s in Dallas, then showed he wasn't done yet when he went to Denver and still put up over 700 yards rushing at that stage of his career. His vision and instincts were just incredible, the kind of player who could find holes that other backs couldn't even see. Unfortunately he doesn't have true rookie cards since he came into the league before the modern card era really took off, but his early 80s cards are still highly sought after. Look for his better conditioned examples and any numbered parallels, since those Dallas years made him a Hall of Famer that collectors always want in their collections.
Dorsett dominated the league with Dallas during the 1980s and proved he still had plenty of juice when he arrived in Denver in 1988. Leaning on his natural instincts and elite vision, he carried the load and led the Broncos with 703 yards and five touchdowns on the ground.

Dad’s Take on Tony Dorsett
Look at this guy running around like he's late for dinner, clutching that ball like it's the last piece of pie at a church social! Sure, he won some fancy trophy at Pitt, but in this picture he looks like he's about to trip over his own shoelaces with all that dramatic leaning. And what's with that death grip on the football – son, it's not going anywhere if you just tuck it properly under your arm like they taught you in Pop Warner!
