Jerry Rhome
Knowing that he had one more year of eligibility, the Cowboys selected Jerry Rhome in the 13th round (172nd overall) of the 1964 NFL Draft with a future draft pick. Rhome began his professional career in 1965 as the third quarterback behind Don Meredith and Craig Morton. He would serve in a backup role until the start of the 1969 season when Roger Staubach joined the team, and at his request the Cowboys traded Rhome to the Cleveland Browns in exchange for a third round draft choice, later used to select Charlie Waters in the 1970 NFL Draft.
