My View of the Dallas Cowboys Top 50 No. 46-50
Number 50- Mark Stepnoski
The five time Pro Bowler and a member of the 1990s All Decade Team, Stepnoski is probably the greatest center to wear a Cowboys jersey and was taken in the same draft as Troy Aikman. He was a big part of the Cowboys success in the early '90s and helped block for Emmitt Smith. Even though he left for free agency after the 1994 season, he came back from 1999 until 2001. A solid pick for the last of the Top 50.
Number 49- Tony Romo
Romo is the current starting quaterback. If he leads this team to the Super Bowl before his career is up, he will easily move up on this list. Already has made 2 Pro Bowls and still has many good years left in him. A stud of a celebrity quaterback that has been linked to the likes of Carrie Underwood and Jessica Simpson. A true underdog story after going from an Undrafted Free Agent in 2003 to the starting quaterback of the Dallas Cowboys. He owns Cowboy record of single season passing yards(4,211 in 2207), completions (335 in 2007), and touchdowns (36 in 2007).
Number 48- Bill Bates
The ultimate scrapper on special teams, Bates made up for lack of size and speed with his heart. A Pro Bowler as a special teams specialist in 1984, he was not the typical super talent. Most recently Bates has been seen as the defensive backs coach on Michael Irvin's reality show "4th and Long." He only started three seasons of his forteen with the Cowboys but won over the hearts of all Cowboys fans in his long career.
Number 47- Walt Garrison
Another fan favorite because of his tough style, Garrison made the 1972 Pro Bowl. The Cowboy's 6th leading rusher also was professional cowboy in the rodeo and was a six time world champion.
Number 46- Terrell Owens
Owens was selected to one Pro Bowl in his short stint in Dallas and holds the single season touch down receptions with 15 in 2007. Outside of his off the field distractions, Owens has to be one considered one of the greatest talents to wear the star one his helmet. He had 1,000 yard seasons in all three of his seasons with the Cowboys and is 8th in Cowboys history in receiving yards with 3,576 and is 7th in the 'Boys history with 28 touch down catches.
