Jethro Pugh

Continue to rest in Peace, Mr. Pugh. You were larger than life to an 11 year old Cowboys fan. I did get to visit one of your stores in DFW Airport. I did get to see you at 2 games versus the New York Giants. I did get to meet you after a New York Jets game with my father, Starkey Pugh, your 2nd cousin. Also a resident of Indian Woods, North Carolina. God Bless you for being a inspiration to all of us young Cowboy fans.

Condolences to the Pugh family. Although I never had the opportunity to meet Jethro, I´ve heard great things about him from the Smallwood family matriarch. May peace and love be with you.

Remembering Jethro Pugh, Bertie High School; W. S. Etheridge High School, Windsor, North Carolina. Our Dallas Football Cowboy # 75.

Friends, Families & Teammates

Posthumously, I nominated Jethro Pugh, Big # 75 of the Dallas Cowboys, the National Football League (NFL), for induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame (2020-2021). As an outstanding NFL defensive tackle, Jethro was the "Mainstay" of the "Dallas Cowboys Doomsday Legendary Defense" for 14 seasons (1965-1978).

He played college football during the 1960s at Elizabeth City State College (ECSC), Elizabeth City, North Carolina.

I am a Cowboys fan because of Jethro Pugh. I was born in Lewiston N.C. I became a fan during the 60s. I am his #1 fan and will appreciate him and his legacy always.. I now reside in Washington D.C. and I speak well of my hometown friend to the redskin nations.

I remember jethro as one of the integral pieces to the doomsday defense from the time I was a young boy to when I was a young man! What a complete player, teammate and most important a great human being the Dallas cowboys got when they drafted him so long ago.i was shocked to see the Lord take him at such a young age,but Heaven didn't get a good DT,they got a great one! he will be missed.Sincerely,Pete Stanakis,Cowboy fan for life
