INVITATION-Meet my good friend, Dallas Cowboy Dixon Edwards at Top Golf Allen 4-6 pm Sunday as we celebrate a Night of Superstars (children with disabilities). Sponsors of the event include Top Golf Allen, GAMEDAY Sports Tours, Dallas Entertainment Journal and TLC Fundraising-Logoware-Printing. Edwards, was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in the second round of the 1991 NFL Draft. Because of his speed and hitting ability, he was moved to strongside linebacker, even though he had a small frame at 6-1 and 225 pounds. In 1995 he was third on the team in tackles with 109. In the 90s, the Cowboys organization felt they could find linebackers through the draft, without the need of paying a premium and adversely impacting the salary cap, so they allowed talented and productive players like him, Ken Norton, Jr., Darrin Smith, Robert Jones and Randall Godfrey, to leave via free agency, instead of signing them to long-term contracts. During his 5 seasons with the Cowboys, Edwards helped the team win 3 Super Bowls, playing as a starter in Super Bowl XXVIII and Super Bowl XXX.
