An all-time great tight end, Jason Witten was a key part of the Cowboys' offense in two decades. With seven seasons of 900+ yards, he earned 11 Pro Bowl selections. He finished his career with the fourth-most receptions all-time and second most receptions and receiving yards for tight ends.
One of the first greats in Dallas, Mel Renfro started off his career with 10-straight Pro Bowl selections. He was critical to two Super Bowl wins, including a key fourth-quarter interception to set up the game-winning touchdown. His 52 career interceptions are the most in Cowboys history.
The Offensive Rookie of the Year on Dallas' 1977 Super Bowl season, Tony Dorsett even contributed a touchdown in the big game. From there on, he would win four Pro Bowl selections, while finishing among the top-10 rushers in the league eight times. He finished his career with 12,739 yards, thanks to eight seasons eclipsing the 1,000 yard mark, for the 10th-most all-time.
Michael Irving was part of the 1990s Cowboys Triplets, with a 114-yard, two touchdown performance in 1992 winning the Cowboys Super Bowl XXVII. A five-time Pro Bowl selection, Irvin crossed 1,000 yards eight times in the 1990s before a spine injury prematurely ended his career.
One of the greatest interior defensive linemen of all-time, Randy White's co-Super Bowl MVP in 1977 was just the tip of the iceberg. He would go on to be selected to nine-straight Pro Bowls with five seasons compiling 10+ sacks. Although unofficial, White is credited for 111 sacks in his 14-year career.
As versatile as he was consistent, Larry Allen is one of the greatest offensive linemen in NFL history. An 11-time Pro Bowl and six All-Pro selection career just begins to define his excellence, whether it was at guard or tackle. He is among the few players to be a part of two All-Decade teams, making both the 1990s and 2000s edition.
The quarterback that made Dallas America's Team, Troy Aikman was wildly efficient on one of the best offensive units in league history. He earned six Pro Bowl selections and paved the way for three Super Bowl victories in the 1990s. He averaged 229.7 yards per Super Bowl alongside a 111.9 rating thanks to a completion percentage of 70. His best performance came in Super Bowl XXVII as he threw four touchdowns in a 273-yard performance, winning Super Bowl MVP.
Arguably the greatest running back of all-time, Emmitt Smith was a one man wrecking crew with the most rushing yards and touchdowns in league history at 18,355 and 164, respectively. He was critical to their three Super Bowl wins in the 1990s, winning MVP in 1993, the only one in Cowboys history. It was also one of five seasons where he had 1,400+ yards. He was incredible in the postseason, with a two-touchdown and 132-yard performance against Buffalo cementing his legacy.
An 11-time Pro Bowler in his 14-year career, Bob Lilly was critical to the team winning Super Bowl VI, with a 29-yard sack turning the game around. He recorded eight sacks five different times, finishing his career with an unofficial total of 95.5. His play was critical to Dallas emerging as one of the best teams in the league early in their run as a franchise, and he became the first player to earn the Cowboys' Ring of Honor.
America's Team needed a captain at the helm and who better than Captain America himself. A six-time Pro Bowl selection, Roger Staubach led the Cowboys to four Super Bowl appearances with two victories, including an MVP worthy performance in Super Bowl VI. He is also the only quarterback in league history to have won the Heisman Trophy and made the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
