HOF

Robert Fulton Newhouse (born January 9, 1950 in Longview, Texas) was a professional American football player in the NFL for the Dallas Cowboys (1972-1983). Newhouse (also known as The House) played college football at the University of Houston. He was a second round draft pick for the Cowboys in the 1972 NFL Draft. He played fullback and led the Cowboys in yards rushed in 1975 with 930 yards. "Like trying to tackle a fire hydrant," at 5'10" and 209 pounds, Newhouse plowed his way through 4,784 rushing yards and 956 receiving yards during his notable career.

A most notable career highlight and Super Bowl moment was the 29 yard touchdown pass Newhouse threw to Golden Richards in Super Bowl XII against the Denver Broncos.

Newhouse joined the Cowboys in 1972 and has never left. Newhouse currently handles Alumni Affairs for the Dallas Cowboys.

*He was called the "Human Bowling Ball"
*He had some of the largest thighs in the NFL.
*Back when the College All-Stars played the Super Bowl Champion from the year before, Newhouse scored a touchdown against the Cowboys.
