Former Dallas Cowboy fullback Daryl Johnston occupies the NFL on FOX's No. 2 broadcast booth with seasoned NFL play-by-play man Dick Stockton. A true student of the game, Johnston's keen analysis has been well-received, prompting the New York Daily News to report: "Johnston consistently delivers the most credible player's-eye view of the game."

Johnston joined FOX in 2001 after serving a year of duty as a game analyst for the NFL on CBS. Prior to that, he cut his teeth in the TV broadcast booth during FOX's coverage of the 2000 NFL Europe League season. His other broadcasting credits include co-hosting Inside the Huddle with Craig James on KDFW-TV (1996), The Daryl Johnston Show on KXAS-TV (1997), as well as the The Moose Call, a weekly radio show on KRLD/KLIF in Dallas for six years.

Nicknamed "Moose" by former teammate Babe Laufenberg, Johnston became a full-time starter in 1991 and was a key member of the Cowboys' three Super Bowl winning teams (1993, 1994 and 1996). A two-time Pro Bowl selection (1993 and 1994), he played in 149 consecutive games, including postseasons, before sitting out a game on October 19, 1997 against Jacksonville with a career-threatening neck injury. Johnston returned in 1998 to play in all 16 games, but just one game in 1999 before neck problems sidelined him for the rest of the year. He finished his career catching 294 passes for 2,227 yards and 14 touchdowns, as well as 232 rushes for 753 yards and eight touchdowns. He had a career-high, 50 receptions in 1993.

Johnston has contributed time to many charities including the Special Olympics, Children's Cancer Fund, Cystic Fibrosis and Literacy Instruction for Texas (LIFT). He has served as honorary chairman for MDA's "Aisles of Smiles" campaign, an organization he has served for over ten years, and for the American Cancer Society's Gunslingers' Ball. In 1999, Johnston's numerous community service activities led to his nomination for the prestigious "Whizzer White Humanitarian Award."

A second-round draft pick out of Syracuse University in 1989, Johnston was an All-America and All-Big East selection in 1988 while earning his degree in economics. Born on February 10, 1966 in Youngstown, N.Y., he now resides in Plano, Texas with his wife Diane, son Aidan, and daughter Evan.
