Scott Laidlaw, a former NFL running back who won a Super Bowl with the Dallas Cowboys<\/a>, has died, his family said. He was 72.<\/p>\n

Laidlaw\u2019s family told WFAA-TV<\/a> that the former player had passed away. The details around his death were not made known.<\/p>\n

Laidlaw was a standout college football player at Stanford<\/a> before he decided to turn pro. The Cowboys selected him in the 14th round of the 1975 NFL Draft with the No. 356 pick. He was a member of the “Dirty Dozen” rookie class for the Cowboys, which included Hall of Famer Randy White, Pat Donovan and Bob Bruenig.<\/p>\n

He played five seasons with Dallas from 1975 to 1979, and appeared in the playoffs with Dallas in three of those five years. In the 1977 season, Dallas made it to Super Bowl XII and defeated the Denver Broncos 27-10.<\/p>\n

The Cowboys made the Super Bowl again the following season, but fell to the Pittsburgh Steelers 35-31. Laidlaw had two rushing touchdowns in the postseason, scoring against the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC Championship and against the Atlanta Falcons in the NFC Divisional Round.<\/p>\n

Laidlaw joined the New York Giants<\/a> in 1980, playing seven games for the team before he called it a career.<\/p>\n

The Cowboys honored Laidlaw and the rest of the “Dirty Dozen” in December.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s fun,” he told WFAA-TV<\/a>. “It\u2019s interesting to see what everyone\u2019s been doing \u2013 how they\u2019re reacting to everything. It\u2019s good. Since we\u2019ve been playing we haven\u2019t been together like this before so it\u2019s very exciting.”<\/p>\n
