Swooping in from his right end position, he has led or co-led the Cowboys in quarterback sacks during each of those 8 campaigns. Harvey has recorded a total of 104 quarterback sacks for the Cowboys. A fiery competitor, he has been the club's emotional leader on the field. ... Harvey has worked as a television commentator."

Ed "Too Tall" Jones's 1982 card calls him "a mentally rejuvenated player after his 1979 experience in professional boxing."
