The only character in NFL history that lives up to Wilson's off-the-charts make-up has got to be Roger Staubach.

  • Dominated College while attending Naval Academy
  • Drafted by teams in both the AFL and the NFL, despite there being a full year before his college eligibility was over
  • After being drafted, became a Naval Officer (volunteering for duty in Vietnam when he didn't have to), leaving four years of professional football on the table
  • Invented the 'Hail Mary'
  • Had a .750 regular season winning percentage
  • while colorblind
  • Suffered 20 concussions
  • subsequently built a business that sold in 2008 for $613 million
  • Married to his grade-school sweetheart for over 50 years

None of these things tell you the make-up of a man. But the make-up of a man that does all these things must be extraordinary.
