WASHINGTON _ National Football League Hall of Famer and star quarterback Roger Staubach, best known for his four Super Bowl appearances and two championships, was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by an admiring President Donald Trump on Friday.
Staubach was known as "Captain Comeback" for his come-from-behind victories on the football field during his playing days with the Dallas Cowboys in the 1970s. Staubach also starred at the U.S. Naval Academy, where his football feats earned him the 1963 Heisman Trophy, awarded to the year's top college football player.
In the East Room of the White House, Trump recalled witnessing Staubach's last-second heroics in a different sport.
