Ranking the Greatest Dallas Cowboys of All Time | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors
Emily Baldwin Despite the unsavory end to his Cowboys tenure, Bryant locked up a place in franchise history. During his eighth season in Dallas, he broke the mark for career touchdowns and ended with 73. Bryant also holds top-five marks in receptions (531) and yards (7,459).
Bob Hayes, WR
Hayes was the first great receiver for the organization. At the end of his playing days, he held Cowboys records with 365 catches, 7,295 yards and 71 touchdowns—the last of which stood until Bryant grabbed his 72nd career score in 2017. (Hayes also won two gold medals as a sprinter at the 1964 Olympics.)
Chuck Howley, LB
A five-time All-Pro linebacker, Howley is the only player in NFL history to win Super Bowl MVP even though his team lost. Howley appeared in 165 games for the Cowboys.
It's a shame a bobbled snap on special teams and a controversial non-catch overshadowed Romo's brilliant career. Romo set franchise records in passing yards, touchdowns, quarterback rating, game-winning drives and fourth-quarter comebacks.
Deion Sanders, CB/PR
On talent alone, Sanders is a top-10 player in team history. However, he only spent five seasons with the Cowboys. "Prime Time" notched 148 tackles and 14 interceptions on defense, adding four punt-return touchdowns.
DeMarcus Ware, DE
The No. 11 overall pick of the 2005 NFL draft played nine successful years in Dallas. Ware set a franchise record with 117 sacks and forced 32 fumbles.
Darren Woodson, S
No defender in team history has recorded more tackles than Woodson, who amassed 813 total stops in 12 years. The five-time Pro Bowler intercepted 23 passes too.
