At the Naval Academy, Staubach quickly stood out. Known for his poise and playmaking abilities, he became one of college football’s top quarterbacks. In 1963, he won the Heisman Trophy, awarded annually to the most outstanding player in college football. His collegiate career was marked by leadership and resilience, traits that would serve him well in the professional arena.
After graduating in 1965, Staubach fulfilled a four-year military commitment, including a tour of duty in Vietnam. He joined the Dallas Cowboys in 1969 at the age of 27, a relatively late start for an NFL rookie. During his 11 seasons with the Cowboys, he became known for his late-game heroics and earned the nickname “Captain Comeback.” He led the team to two Super Bowl victories and four NFC (National Football Conference) championships, solidifying his legacy as one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history.
Even during his playing days—from 1970 to 1977—Staubach was already preparing for life after football. During offseasons, he worked as a sales representative and later as an associate vice president in a Dallas-based real estate firm. In 1977, while still a member of the Cowboys, he laid the groundwork for what would become The Staubach Company, a real estate enterprise headquartered in Dallas.
After retiring from football in 1979, Staubach dedicated himself fully to his business career. The Staubach Company grew into a national leader in commercial real estate services. He served as Chairman and CEO, and eventually sold the company to Jones Lang LaSalle in 2008. Staubach's estimated net worth is approximately $400 million. Alongside his business ventures, he has remained actively involved in charitable and community work.
Roger Staubach is married to Marianne Staubach, who is known for her philanthropic efforts. Together, they have five children. The Staubachs have been deeply committed to various charitable causes, particularly those supporting veterans, education, and health initiatives.
