Billy Joe Dupree
Retired Professional Football Player
Accolades
Billy Joe DuPree (born March 7, 1950) is a former American football tight end in the National Football League for the Dallas Cowboys. He played college football at Michigan State University. DuPree was selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the first round (20th overall) of the 1973 NFL Draft. As a rookie, he became an immediate starter, which at the time was almost unheard-of in a Tom Landry coached team. He also had to take over for the recently retired and future hall of famer Mike Ditka, who gave him his jersey number 89. He led the team in receiving yards (392) and was second in catches (29) and receiving touchdowns (5). He set a franchise record with 3 touchdowns in a single-game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Even though tight ends during his era were expected to block more than feature their receiving skills, his 41 career touchdown receptions was the Cowboys team record until it was broken in 2012 by Jason Witten.
Where Are They Now
More recently, he has become involved in many charities, including the Shriner's, as well as other inner city youth groups. He is an active participant in most NFL Alumni Children's Charity events. He was elected into the MSU Athletics Hall of Fame, the Blue–Gray Football Classic Hall of Fame, the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame and the Texas State African-American Sports Hall of Fame. He is an active member of the Board of Trustees of Meals on Wheels of Collin County. Billy currently is on the board of directors for the PFRPA.
