Tight End Doug Cosbie was selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the 3rd Round (76th pick) of the 1979 NFL Draft after a superb collegiate career at Santa Clara University.

In his first three seasons in Dallas, Doug played sparingly catching a total of 24 balls.  Coincidently, Doug's breakout season was the strike-shortened NFL season of 1982, where he started all nine games played that season catching 30 passes for 441 yards and 4 touchdowns for a reciever-like average of 14.7 yards a catch.

Doug spent the next three seasons establishing himself as one of the best TE's in the NFL being selected to three Pro Bowls and being named All-Pro twice.  From a statistical standpoint, Doug's best season as a Cowboy was 1985, when he caught 64 passes for 793 yards and 6 TD's.

He played 10 seasons with the Cowboys ending his remarkable career with 300 receptions, 30 TD's and nearly 4000 yards recieving.

Since retirement, Doug has served as an assistant on Bill Walsh's Stanford coaching staff, Head Coach of Division III Menlo College as well as a two year stint as Offensive Coordinator and Wide Reciever coach at UC Berkeley.
