Former NFL CB Dennis Thurman success
Posted: Tue May 12, 2015 2:20 am
Thurman a fifth-year player from USC, was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in the 11th round of the 1978 NFL Draft, and although his experience was at safety, he originally made the team as a cornerback.
He played in Super Bowl XIII in 1979 and recovered an onside kick.In 1980 he won the starting free safety position. The next year Charlie Waters retired and cornerback Benny Barnes, was moved to strong safety, so Thurman was pressed into starting at cornerback where he would remain for the rest of his Cowboys career. 1981 was also the year he made his only Pro Bowl.Thurman had three interceptions, including a 39-yard touchdown and one to clinch the victory at Texas Stadium, Irving, Texas in the 1983 NFL playoffs semi-finals against the Green Bay Packers.During the 1985 season quarterback Danny White nicknamed Thurman along with fellow safety Michael Downs and cornerbacks Everson Walls, Ron Fellows, "Thurman's Thieves", for their opportunistic play in the secondary.
