In the first round of the 2014 draft, the Dallas Cowboys owner made one more pass to speak to the player personnel department and scouts, looking to stoke interest in taking Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel and not guard Zack Martin.

Zack Martin's decorated career with the Dallas Cowboys started with him known as the guy the club drafted instead of Johnny Manziel.

Zack Martin approached his retirement announcement the way he did every single game he played for the Cowboys. Confident and prepared. One of the best players in franchise history smiled as he took his spot on the podium between Jerry and Stephen Jones.
