What the hell am I doing here Cowboy star Jean Fugett
Jean Fugett, Amherst College '72 graduate with a 137 page study on Conquest and Expansion, becomes Dallas Cowboys tight end. Highly intelligent, he faces the clash of being a young black player in pro football, enduring Landry and Ditka's coaching, proving himself through hard sprint work and blocking. He rises to starter status, signs a new contract, and contemplates quitting only if the team fails to reach the Super Bowl. Fugett’s background includes a great-grand Onondaga and a run-away slave ancestor, and his drive comes from a segregated Baltimore upbringing.
