Jethro Pugh (born July 3, 1944 in Windsor, North Carolina) is a former National Football League defensive tackle for the Dallas Cowboys. He played with Dallas for his entire career, from 1965 through 1978. Pugh's achievements as a professional athlete were largely overshadowed for most of his career by Hall-of-Famer Bob Lilly who played defensive tackle on the other side.
Pugh attended Elizabeth City State University in North Carolina, where he was a member of Alpha Phi Alpha, the first intercollegiate Greek-letter fraternity established for African Americans. [1]
Pugh owns a number of Western-themed gift shops at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport in Texas. He also hosts an annual Jethro Pugh Celebrity Golf Tournament in Dallas to raise funds for the United Negro College Fund. [2]
