No matter how big your career or how many times you’ve been knocked down and gotten back up, daughters have a way of softening even the toughest dads. And for NFL legend Troy Aikman, that truth was on full display in a touching birthday tribute to his daughter.
Now 58 and an analyst on ESPN’s Monday Night Football, Aikman, an NFL Hall of Famer who quarterbacked the Dallas Cowboys to three Super Bowl wins in the ‘90s with his signature grit under pressure, shared a heartfelt message for his daughter Ally’s 23rd birthday.
“Happy 23rd birthday to my baby girl,” he wrote. “An amazing young woman — kind, smart, funny, strong, and beautiful. Love being your dad and watching you chase down life with so much heart. Proud is an understatement. I love you, Ally.”
