The Greatest Athlete To Wear #74 is Hall of Fame Dallas Cowboy Defensive tackle Bob Lilly.

Other notable #74’s- Henry Jordan-Hall of Famer from the Green Bay Packers glory years. Bruce Matthews one of the greatest and most durable offensive lineman to play the game, Ron Mix an outstanding offensive lineman for the Chargers in the 1960’s. Merlin Olson- Hall of Famer and member of the famed Fearsome Foursome of the Los Angeles Rams of the 1960’s and 1970’s, Fred Dean-Hall of Famer from the Chargers and the 49ers. A number of outstanding players to pick from here.

The choice is Bob Lilly. Bob Lilly was an 11 time Pro Bowler during his career with the Cowboys. He played his entire career with them from 1961-74. He was a member of both the All-60’s and All-70’s NFL Decade teams. He was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1980. He was known as “Mr. Cowboy” and he only missed one game during his career due to injury. Maybe the greatest Dallas Cowboy ever.
