Where are they now? Dallas Cowboys, Air Force defensive lineman Chad Hennings

ESPN.com will catch up with a notable sports figure from yesteryear each week in its "Where Are They Now?" series.

Claim to fame: Chad Hennings spent nine seasons as a key member of the Dallas Cowboys' defense, winning three Super Bowls and recording 27½ sacks and more than 200 tackles in the process. He totaled 4½ career postseason sacks, including two in Super Bowl XXX.

Hennings served four years in the Air Force before his NFL career. He flew dozens of combat and humanitarian missions over Iraq and Turkey in A-10 jets, the only such aircraft that could accommodate a 6-foot-6, 290-pound pilot.
