Timeline

1953

Richard Burton Lawless (born November 1, 1953) is an American former football offensive guard in the National Football League (NFL) for the Dallas Cowboys and Detroit Lions.

He played college football at the University of Florida, and earned All-American honors.

Lawless was born in Dothan, Alabama in 1953, before his family moved to Florida.

He attended Charlotte High School in Punta Gorda, Florida, where he first drew recognition as an all-state tight end for the Charlotte Fighting Tarpons high school football team.

1965

Mitch Hoopes and him were the only rookies to earn starting jobs, with Lawless replacing the traded John Niland at left guard and becoming the first-team rookie to start in the offensive line (including Super Bowl X) since 1965.

1971

Lawless accepted an athletic scholarship to attend the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida, where he played for coach Doug Dickey's Florida Gators football team from 1971 to 1974.

As a freshman, he broke his shoulder on his first practice and was moved to offensive tackle when he returned to the team, and eventually to offensive guard, where he arguably became the best pulling guard in Gators history.

At the end of the 1975 season, he was named to the NFL All-Rookie team.

1976

In 1976, the improved play of Herbert Scott forced him into a platoon role.

In 1977, he was moved to right guard but lost the starting job to Tom Rafferty.

Injuries to Scott and John Fitzgerald allowed him to start 6 games (4 at left guard and 2 at right guard).

The next year, he was back to serving as a messenger guard, alternating mainly with Rafferty.

1980

After requesting to be traded, he retired in 1980 during training camp and was subsequently traded to the Miami Dolphins for a draft choice (not exercised) on August 19.

During his time with the Cowboys, he was a part of three Super Bowl teams, winning Super Bowl XII.

The Miami Dolphins released him on September 1, 1980.

On October 23, he signed as a free agent with the Detroit Lions, where he played in nine games.
