I loved Mel Owens. Played high school football when he was drafted/played. Loved his look...he just looked like a bad ass linebacker. Now, I played inside backer, but wanted Owen's number. Some kid on my team (Robert Frick) took 58. I was so pissed, so I settled on 53 for my jersey number...close enough, right?

Do Not Fuck With Mel Owens!

Had come into his own as an OLB in John Robinson's 3-4 when knee injuries brought a premature end to his career.

Second team All Pro in 1984 and a Pro Bowl nod in 1985. Another backer from this era whose career was derailed by injury, in this case a shoulder.

Fondly recall his pick six of Staubach to seal the win over Dallas at the Coliseum in 1978.

One of my favourite players back in the day. Way under-appreciated.
