http://www.oaklandraidersteamonline.com/trayvon-mullen-jersey , Calif. (AP) — Wentz and Taysom Hill since being drafted by the Los Angeles Chargers in the fifth round two weeks ago. There’s nothing wrong with comparisons, but the first task for the fifth-round pick is learning the playbook.He’s also taking a key piece of advice that Wentz gave him to heart, which is to continue doing what got him drafted. held their rookie minicamp.“You can’t come out and try to reinvent yourself or be somebody that you’re not. People see through that stuff and it won’t allow you to be successful,” Stick said.Stick succeeded Wentz at North Dakota State after Wentz was the second overall pick by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2016. All Stick did was become the winningest quarterback in FCS history (49-3) while leading the Bison to three national championships.Wentz has continued to mentor Stick throughout his career as the two continue to be in regular contact with each other.Stick displayed plenty of athleticism at North Dakota State.He passed for 8,693 yards and 88 touchdowns butt also rushed for 2,523 yards and 41 TDs. Offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt said the Bison’s offense was more conventional compared to other colleges and that his presence in the pocket along with throwing on the run stood out. Whisenhunt and coach Anthony Lynn also noted that Stick lined up under center more compared to other college quarterbacks, which should also put him slightly ahead.What also stood out was Stick’s ability to retain information. Whisenhunt said they quizzed Stick on three plays they sent him and that the level of recall was above average compared to other college players.“It’s still on the board in there (the quarterback room),” Whisenhunt said. “For a college football player having to learn something that’s a little bit different than what he’s done, put the time in and come back without any notice and be able to put it back up on the board was really impressive.”It is the fourth time since 2006 that the Chargers have drafted a quarterback with the hope that he would develop into a solid backup to Philip Rivers. The only time though that has been the case was in 2006, when they selected Charlie Whitehurst in the third round. Whitehurst spent six seasons with the Chargers in two stints (2006-09 and 2012-13).The plans for this season though are that Stick will vie with Cardale Jones for the third quarterback spot after the Chargers signed Tyrod Taylor to be Rivers’ backup. Stick said that Rivers has texted him but that the two have not met yet.There is the possibility that Stick could see the field if the Chargers use him like the Saints have done with Hill.

At 6-foot-1, 224-pounds, Stick has the bulk and has shown the durability to take hard hits.Whisenhunt said Hill’s first task though is learning how to play quarterback in their system.“It’s hard to think that you’re just going to plug somebody into that role and think he can do it without really learning the basics of having to play quarterback,” Whisenhunt said. “He’s an athlete. He does a lot of good things athletically on the field, which you can see him do, but we are excited to see him play the quarterback position and see how he can develop at that.”While Stick was taking snaps on the practice field, first-round pick Jerry Tillery continues to rehab from surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder. The defensive tackle remains on track to be cleared for contact by the start of training camp in late July. One of the most significant years in NFL history was 1960. It was the same year that Pete Rozelle was voted in as the new NFL commissioner, filling a role previously held by Bert Bell prior to his death in October of 1959. The move was very surprising at the time because Rozelle was only 33-years old and had very little experience. Even with the many objections against Pete becoming the commissioner, he was still voted in by the owners after a meeting in January of 1960 where it took a rumored 23 ballots before they finally reached a final decision.Starting in 1960

It was also the first year of the American Football League, AFL, which competed with the NFL until the two companies merged in 1966 to form the league we currently know today.The Chicago Cardinals would also go through changes in 1960 and they moved to St. Louis. The NFL would also add two more teams in 1960 and 1961. The Minnesota Vikings were announced as the newest team to join the league and were scheduled to begin in 1961. Meanwhile, in Texas, the Dallas Cowboys became the NFL's 13th team.The inaugural season for the Dallas Cowboys, who were actually called the Dallas Rangers before changing it in March, was nothing special outside of the hiring of New York Giants assistant coach

He would struggle in his first season and the Cowboys finished the 1960 season with a 0-11-1 record. It was the only time the Cowboys would not win a single game in one season.Eventually, the Cowboys would turn things around and in 1971, they played in Super Bowl V where they lost to the Baltimore Colts 16-13. That marked the start of a decade of dominance for the Cowboys as they would go on to play in five Super Bowls between 1971 and 1979. In their first five Super Bowl appearances, they went 2-3. After the 1978 season, however, it would be 15 years before they returned to the Super Bowl.The Cowboys dominated the 70's and 90's and ended up going to eight Super Bowls between those two decades with a 5-3 record. Let's take a look at those five wins and rank the 8 best and 7 worst Cowboys players to win a Super Bowl.
