A second rounder from Syracuse, Johnston, was a massive part of why Emmitt Smith would set the all-time rushing record. "Moose" was one of the most popular players in Dallas, which said a lot considering how many high-profile players that they had. Helping the Cowboys win three Super Bowls in the 90s, Johnston did not just aid their best offensive weapon, as he was used as a go-to target himself. He would have 2,980 Yards from Scrimmage with 22 Touchdowns, and he would have three TD in the post-season. He played until 1999 when neck issues forced him out of the game.
Daryl Johnston was considered one of the best Fullbacks of his day, and considering the way football has evolved, there won't be too many players like him again.
