Johnson won the decathlon at the 1955 Pan American Games in Mexico, then won the silver medal at the 1956 Olympics and a gold at the 1960 Olympics. In 1960, Johnson was The Associated Press athlete of the year and won the Sullivan Award winner as the nation's top amateur athlete. He is a member of the National Track & Field and U.S. Olympic Halls of Fame.

-- JERRY JONES. The Arkansas native purchased the Dallas Cowboys in 1989, and "America's Team" returned to national prominence in the 1990s by becoming the first team to win three Super Bowls in a four-year span. Jones is on several NFL committees, including the management council executive committee. The Cowboys are building a new $1 billion stadium in Arlington, and are bidding to host a Super Bowl there.

-- ROOSEVELT LEAKS. After rushing for 3,688 yards and 55 touchdowns for Brenham High School from 1969-70, Leaks was a two-time All-Southwest Conference running back at Texas from 1972-74.

-- DON PERKINS. Before joining the Dallas Cowboys in the franchise's second season in 1961, when he was the NFL rookie of the year, Perkins was a standout at the University of New Mexico. Perkins' 6,217 rushing yards with the Cowboys from 1961-68 ranks third in franchise history behind Emmitt Smith and Tony Dorsett. He played in six Pro Bowls and was enshrined into the Cowboys Ring of Honor in 1976.
