Top 5 Dallas Cowboys of all time

Thanks for reading my article on the top 5 Dallas Cowboys of all time. With a historic franchise like the Dallas Cowboys its hard to pick just 5 of the best players they ever had. Still I think I managed to do it and of course with all sports lists, half the fun is arguing with it.

1 Roger Staubach

I think Roger Staubach is the best Dallas Cowboy player of all time. His stats may not compare with modern Cowboys quarterbacks. That is because the NFL played less games per season and the defenses could do more to defend against the pass which dampened passing stats compared to today.

2 Larry Allen

Larry Allen was a monster of an offensive tackle and I think the best Cowboys offensive lineman of all time. Allen is in the NFL Hall of Fame and was a multiple time Pro Bowler and All Pro offensive tackle for America's Team.

3 Randy White

They called him “Manster” for half man and half monster. Failed as a linebacker Randy White became a Hall of Fame defensive tackle. White could rush the passer, play the run or occupy blockers leaving somebody else to make the tackle.

4 Bob Hayes

Bullet Bob Hayes changed the way the NFL played pass defense. He was billed as the Worlds Fastest Human and he was the fastest man in the league during his time. Hayes was hard to stop and I think he did more for the Cowboys than any other receiver they ever had.

5 Emmitt Smith

Smith may actually be underrated because he played with those great Dallas Cowboys offensive linemen. He still set NFL rushing records that will never be broken. Emmitt Smith could run, catch and block and was one of the best Dallas Cowboys ever.
