Reactions today after Pro Football Hall of Famer Rayfield Wright dies. His nickname was 'Big Cat' and he went to five Super Bowls in his 13 seasons with the Dallas Cowboys.
Wright didn't even make his high school football team for three years in Griffin, Georgia, before he went to Fort Valley State in his home state to play basketball. The following summer, Lomax made him quit his summer job at a mill to get ready to join the football team.
His sights were still set on the NBA when Cowboys player personnel director Gil Brandt called and said the team was interested in drafting him. Wright was a backup tackle the first two months of the 1969 season, then thrust into the starting job when Ralph Neely got hurt. His first start came when Dallas, then 8-1, played at the 9-0 Los Angeles Rams with their Fearsome Foursome defense.
