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 strong work ethic and leadership qualities caught the attention of NFL scouts, leading to his selection by the Dallas Cowboys in the second round of the 1989 NFL Draft. Johnston would go on to play his entire 11-year NFL career with the Cowboys, becoming a key component of the team's success during the 1990s.

Johnston's role as a fullback was instrumental in the Cowboys' offensive schemes, particularly in helping pave the way for Hall of Fame running back Emmitt Smith. Known for his blocking ability, Johnston was a selfless player who often sacrificed personal statistics for the betterment of the team. His contributions were vital in the Cowboys' three Super Bowl victories in 1993, 1994, and 1996. Despite playing a position that often goes unnoticed, Johnston earned two Pro Bowl selections in 1993 and 1994, further solidifying his reputation as one of the best fullbacks of his era.

After retiring from professional football in 1999, Johnston transitioned into a successful broadcasting career, becoming a respected NFL analyst for Fox Sports. His deep understanding of the game and ability to break down complex plays made him a fan favorite in the booth. In addition to his broadcasting work, Johnston has taken on various 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 2020.

In 2022, Johnston was appointed as the executive vice president of football operations for the revived United States Football League (USFL), where he played a pivotal role in overseeing the league's inaugural season. His leadership and experience have been crucial in shaping the direction of the USFL, as he continues to contribute to the growth and development of professional football. Johnston's post-playing career has demonstrated his versatility and commitment to the sport, both as a player and an executive.
