Former Dallas Cowboys defensive lineman Don Smerek has died from cancer at age 66, according to several reports.

Smerek, who played for the Nevada Wolf Pack in college before joining the Cowboys in 1981 after going undrafted just a year earlier, died last week.

He spent seven seasons in Dallas, playing a total of 69 games.

'He was a great teammate, a great person,' Pro Football Hall of Famer and Cowboys icon Randy White told The Dallas Morning News.

'He was just solid as a football player and I can always count on him. He would come in on third downs and rush the passer and the thing about Don as a football player, he was 100 percent.'
