It was a special day for a special person.
After a lifetime of dedication and commitment, Gil Brandt has finally received the recognition he deserved. After spending almost three full decades working in tandem with Tex Schramm and Tom Landry to build the Dallas Cowboys to great heights, Brandt turned his innovative mind to helping to continue to build the shield that represents the NFL. Now, he will be commemorated for all of eternity as the newest member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
He is the 25th person associated with the Cowboys to have himself enshrined, and the 17th who spent the major parts of his career with the organization.
