 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 his first 2 seasons, he was a backup behind Billy Joe DuPree and Jay Saldi, playing mainly on special teams and as a blocking tight end on short-yardage and goal-line situations.
