    Troy Aikman was the cornerstone of the Dallas Cowboys' dominance in the 1990s. As the first overall pick in the 1989 NFL Draft, Aikman endured a rough rookie season but quickly developed into a poised and accurate passer.
    Under his leadership, the Cowboys won three Super Bowls (XXVII, XXVIII, XXX), with Aikman earning Super Bowl XXVII MVP honors. His precision passing, leadership, and ability to perform in clutch moments made him one of the most reliable quarterbacks of his era.
    Aikman finished his 12-year career with over 32,000 passing yards and six Pro Bowl selections. His ability to manage the game efficiently, combined with the dominance of the Cowboys' offensive line and skill players, made Dallas nearly unstoppable in the early ‘90s.
    After retiring, Aikman transitioned into broadcasting, becoming a respected NFL analyst.
