Three-Time NFL Super Bowl Champion Quarterback, Dallas Cowboys; NFL Analyst for FOX Television
One of the most popular players in NFL history, Troy Aikman has been extraordinarily successful throughout his entire life. A collegiate All-American, NFL All-Pro, Super Bowl MVP, NFL Man of the Year and Future Hall of Famer, Troy’s achievements are legendary. As a speaker, Troy brings that same passion to his audiences as he shares the principles and lessons that have propelled him to personal and professional excellence. Now one of the most respected broadcasters on FOX, Troy continues to provide key insights and thoughtful analysis for fans around the world. Troy Aikman finished his collegiate career as the third rated passer in NCAA history. An All-American at UCLA, Aikman joined the Dallas Cowboys as the first overall pick in the 1989 NFL Draft. He became the first Dallas rookie quarterback to start a season opener since Roger Staubach in 1969. Although he showed great promise and threw for a rookie-record 379 yards in a game against the Phoenix Cardinals, the team finished 1-15. As the young quarterback improved, however, so too did the Cowboys\' record.
Troy Aikman is the 3rd rated passer in NCAA history. With 90 wins in the 1990s, Aikman became the winningest starting quarterback of any decade in NFL history. Unfortunately, during his final two seasons, injuries began to take a toll on the Dallas quarterback and the team\'s winning ways. Finally, after the 2000 season, the Cowboys\' six-time Pro Bowl selection announced his retirement from football. His career statistics include 32,942 yards and 165 touchdowns for a passer rating of 81.6. His accomplishments off the field are just as impressive supporting many worthwhile causes throughout the country. In 1992, he established the Troy Aikman Foundation which benefits children in the Dallas/Fort Forth Area. Proceeds of his book Things Change benefits the foundation.
