1963 football card of Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Bob Lilly, a Hall of Famer who was one of the dominant defensive linemen of his era. This card lists Lilly as an “end”, which he was starting in his rookie season of 1961. Midway through the ’63 season Dallas coach Tom Landry moved Lilly to tackle to anchor the line of his famed “Doomsday Defense” and Lilly thrived at the spot. He was a seven time All-Pro and played on the Cowboys’ first Super Bowl champion team in the 1971 season.
