Summary
Scott Laidlaw, a former NFL running back who won a Super Bowl with the Dallas Cowboys, has died at the age of 72. He played for the Cowboys from 1975 to 1979 and was a member of the “Dirty Dozen” rookie class. Laidlaw also played for the New York Giants in 1980 before retiring.
Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
Laidlaw’s Cowboys career was marked by slow starts and late pushes, culminating in a Super Bowl win in 1977. He then joined the Giants, where he played a few more games before hanging up his cleats.
This one felt recognizable early, as Laidlaw’s playing days were marked by flashes of brilliance and periods of mediocrity.
He was part of a “Dirty Dozen” rookie class that included Hall of Famer Randy White, but even that couldn’t guarantee long-term success.
And yet, Laidlaw’s family says he passed away at 72.
