About Mel Renfro, Hall of Famer

Mel Renfro spent all 14 seasons of his NFL career as a cornerback for the Dallas Cowboys, becoming one of the franchise's most versatile and accomplished defensive backs. A second-round draft pick in 1964, he made an immediate impact as a rookie, leading the team with seven interceptions and the NFL in return yardage while earning Pro Bowl honors. Renfro was selected to ten consecutive Pro Bowls and earned five All-Pro selections. Over his career, he intercepted 52 passes—still a Cowboys record—and excelled at multiple positions, including safety and even halfback. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1996.

Did you know? In the 1970 NFC Championship Game, Renfro's key interception led to the Cowboys' game-winning touchdown over the San Francisco 49ers, helping them reach Super Bowl V.
