Blogging The Boys Interviews Former Dallas Cowboys Defensive Tackle Chad Hennings

The player from the Super Bowl years of the early nineties talks about the Cowboys and his latest project.

Chad Hennings was part of the Dallas Cowboys during the Super Bowl glory years in the early 1990's. He is a unique story, because he was drafted out of the Air Force Academy when he still had an eight year commitment to serve. He went on to become a fighter pilot, flying the A-10 Warthog (one of the few aircraft he could fit into as a pilot). After flying 45 missions in support of Operation Provide Comfort in the Persian Gulf, he got the opportunity to leave the service as the military underwent downsizing, and he joined the Cowboys in 1992 as a 27 year-old rookie.
