I had know idea Randy White was such a large man. Sitting next to Bruce Smith he looks like a giant. Both are listed at 6’4” but White looks a full head taller and 100 pounds bigger. I know Bruce has lost a ton of weight but the difference was striking. I don’t recall seeing but a handful of Cowboy games from the late 70’s and early 80’s. I never like the Cowboys and by the time I was really into watching football the Cowboys had been passed by the 49ers , Giants, and Bears. 

For those that know, what are your recollections of White?

Better than Too Tall?  Harvey Martin was no slouch either.  

Too Tall was one of my favorites of all time. I actually was able to meet him at a autograph show in Batavia this year.  But he was like a shade below Randy White.  If I had to rate the Cowboys DL players from 75 to 81 seasons I would put them down as White,  Too Tall, Martin, Dutton/Cole.  When they had Holllywood Henderson and Too Tall on the same side those two were unreal. Theyre wingspan was the whole left side of the field..LOL

I grew up in Dallas in the 70's and 80's. He was the Cowboys best DL of his era.  Ill write more later though.

Ever eat at his BBQ joint in Frisco? Opened after his playing days so maybe not.  Pretty good grub.

I haven't lived there in several years so unsure it's still there.  Right on what used to be the main drag leading to Frisco.
