Jason Garrett

Imagine a super-fan who got to play football for real! That's kind of like Jason Garrett. He was born a long time ago, on March 28, 1966.

He played football in college for the Princeton Tigers, which is a famous university. Then, he got to play in the big leagues, the NFL! He was a quarterback, which is the player who throws the ball to start most plays.

He even won three Super Bowls, which are like the championship games of football!

After being a player, Jason Garrett didn't stop loving football. He became a coach! He started by teaching other quarterbacks how to throw and play smart.

Then, he became a head coach for the most famous team, the Dallas Cowboys! He was the boss of the whole team for ten whole years, from 2010 to 2019. That's longer than you've been in school!

Being a head coach means you help decide all the plays and make sure the team works together.

Guess what? Jason Garrett is still part of the football world! Now, he's like a commentator. That means he watches games and tells everyone watching on TV what's happening and why it's exciting. He talks about college football and NFL games for NBC Sports. It's like being a sports reporter, but he knows all the inside secrets because he played and coached for so long. He's like a football expert!

One of the coolest things Jason Garrett did was win the Super Bowl three times! He was a backup quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, which means he was ready to play if the main quarterback couldn't. Even though he wasn't always the one starting the game, he was a super important part of the team that won those huge championships.

Winning the Super Bowl is like winning the biggest trophy in all of football!
