Timeline
Cosbie worked in Hollywood from 2006 to 2010 for Shangri-La Entertainment. He is also co-owner of the La Jolla Group, along with fellow Santa Clara University athletes, Kurt Rambis and Rich Brown.
On March 30, 1989, he was signed by the Denver Broncos in Plan B free agency. He decided to retire during training camp that season, after playing for 10 years in the NFL and also in three NFC Championship games.
In 1988, he lost his starting job in the fifth game due to being limited by offseason surgery on his Achilles tendon, posting 4 starts, 12 receptions and 112 yards. In 1989, with the arrival of new head coach Jimmy Johnson, he was left unprotected in Plan B free agency.
In 1987, he had 36 receptions for 421 yards and 3 touchdowns, becoming the franchise's All-time leading receiver among tight ends and his 288 catches ranked him fifth on the All-time Cowboys receiving list.
In 1986, his production fell more than 50 percent to 28 receptions for 312 yards and one touchdown, mainly because of the extensive use of running back Herschel Walker as a receiver out of the back field, that produced 837 yards.
In 1985, he set a team record for receptions by a tight end for the third straight year with 64 catches. He also established a franchise record for receiving yards in a season by a tight end (793) and had 6 touchdowns (second on the team). He was named to the UPI All-Pro NFC team.
In 1984, he broke his own team record for receptions by a tight end with 60 catches, which led the team and was second among NFC tight ends. He was second on the team with 789 yards and 4 touchdowns.
In 1983, he emerged as one of the league's top tight ends, making 46 receptions (franchise record for tight ends) for 588 yards (third on the team) and 6 touchdowns. He also earned his first invitation to the Pro Bowl.
Cosbie caught 300 passes for 3,728 yards and 30 touchdowns and also had 22 catches for 243 yards and 3 touchdowns in 7 playoff games. He still ranks eleventh in franchise history in receptions and ninth in receiving yards. He made three straight Pro Bowls from 1983 to 1985.
In 1981, he almost won the starting tight end spot, but was still able to share it with Dupree and tied for the team lead with 5 touchdown receptions. In 1982, he was named the starter during the 9 game strike shortened season, finishing second on the team with 30 receptions (led the NFC tight ends) for 441 yards, a 14.7-yard average and 4 touchdown receptions (led the team).
Cosbie was selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the third round (76th overall) of the 1979 NFL Draft. The team's draft strategy through that time was to take the highest-ranked player on their draft board, regardless of position. When the Cowboys' turn came up in the third round, the highest rated player on their board was quarterback Joe Montana. However, feeling that the quarterback position was in excellent shape with Roger Staubach, Danny White and Glenn Carano, the Cowboys needing a tight end to join Billy Joe DuPree infamously deviated from their philosophy and chose Cosbie instead. After being passed over by the next five teams in the draft order, the San Francisco 49ers selected Montana as the final player of the third round.
In 1978, he ran over strong safety Dan Keefe twice, knocking him unconscious both times during the spring game. In the regular season, he recorded 29 receptions for 427 yards and 3 touchdowns. He finished his Santa Clara career with 120 receptions for 1,721 yards, 14.3 yards per reception and 10 touchdowns. His records were eventually broken by Brent Jones. For his achievements, Cosbie was inducted into the Santa Clara University Athletic Hall of Fame.
In 1975, he collected 26 receptions and 5 touchdowns. In 1976, he was named the starter at tight end, registering 34 receptions for 444 yards and one touchdown. In 1977, he posted 31 receptions for 517 yards and one touchdown.
After high school, he moved on to De Anza College. He later transferred to the College of the Holy Cross, playing 11 games as a backup, while tallying 1 reception for 6 yards. He transferred to Santa Clara University after the 1974 season, to play under head coach Pat Malley.
In 1973, he helped the Lancers reach the finals of the Central Coast Section playoffs, before losing the title game 32-30 to Saratoga High School. In 1974, he was part of the first Santa Clara Valley All-Star Football Game, playing with the North team.
Douglas Durant Cosbie (born March 27, 1956) is a former professional American football player in the National Football League for the Dallas Cowboys. He played college football at Santa Clara University.
