Book Daryl Johnston for your event

Daryl Peter "Moose" Johnston is a former professional football player who made a significant impact both on and off the field. Born on February 10, 1966, Johnston played college football at Syracuse University, where he developed into a versatile and reliable fullback. His skills and leadership earned him a spot in the NFL, where he was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in 1989. Johnston played his entire 11-year NFL career with the Cowboys, becoming a key component of their offense during the team's dominant run in the 1990s. Known for his blocking ability and toughness, Johnston helped pave the way for some of the league's most successful running backs, including Emmitt Smith.

Johnston's contributions to the Dallas Cowboys were instrumental in the team's success during the 1990s, a period in which they won three Super Bowl championships (1993, 1994, and 1996). While he was not a flashy player in terms of statistics, his role as a fullback was crucial in creating opportunities for the Cowboys' high-powered offense. Johnston was known for his selflessness, often sacrificing personal accolades to ensure the success of his teammates. His leadership and work ethic earned him two Pro Bowl selections, and he became a fan favorite for his gritty, hard-nosed style of play.

After retiring from professional football in 1999, Johnston transitioned into a successful career in broadcasting. He became a respected NFL analyst, providing insightful commentary for Fox Sports. His deep understanding of the game and ability to break down plays made him a valuable asset in the booth. In addition to his broadcasting career, Johnston has taken on several executive roles in football operations. He served as the general manager of the San Antonio Commanders in the Alliance of American Football (AAF) in 2019 and later became the director of player personnel for the Dallas Renegades in the XFL.

In 2022, Johnston took on a new challenge as the executive vice president of football operations for the revived United States Football League (USFL). His leadership and experience have been instrumental in helping the league navigate its inaugural season. Johnston's commitment to the sport of football, both as a player and an executive, has solidified his legacy as one of the most respected figures in the game. His ability to adapt and succeed in various roles within the sport speaks to his deep passion and knowledge of football.
