Dallas Cowboys linebacker Justin March-Lillard is changing the name on the back of his uniform to read simply "March."
The sixth-year pro wrote about the change on Twitter on Sunday, saying that March is his legal name and that of his wife and children.
I wore "March-Lillard" on my jersey. to honor my father who Fought through 3 different cancers and multiple heart surgeries in his life. Beating the first 2 and passing from Pancreatic Cancer in 2016. He never missed a game. Even when he was going through chemo. pic.
