Number 16- Darren WoodsonThis five time Pro Bowler is the only player that played for both Jimmie Johnson and Bill Parcels for the Cowboys. Woodson leads all Cowboys with 1,350 tackles and was also named to four All Pro Teams in his Hall Of Fame career. This converted college linebacker is now a very successful analyst for ESPN.
Number 17- Don MeredithDon Meredith was a three time Pro Bowler that set the bar for Cowboys quaterbacks after he was traded from the Chicago Bears after starring at SMU in Dallas. Meredith looked very good thanks to the help from Bob Hayes, who was just inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and Don Perkins. Meredith is one of three quaterbacks in the Cowboys Ring of Honor with Troy Aikman and Roger Staubach.
Number 18- Don PerkinsThis six time Pro Bowler played both halfback and fullback and is one of the first players inducted into the Ring of Honor. Perkins is third all time in team history in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns. Perkins was the first great running back in a rich line of 'Boys backs to ever wear a star on his helmet. Perkins is also a member of the Texas Sports Hall of Fame.
Number 19- Harvey MartinThis four time Pro Bowler is the Cowboys all time leader in sacks with 114. Martin won the 1977 Defensive Player of the Year after recording 23 sacks, even though sacks did not become an official stat until 1982. Martin played on the defensive line with Randy White and Ed "Too Tall" Jones to make up one of the greatest defensive lines in league history.
Number 20- "Neon" Deion Sanders, aka "Prime Time," made four Pro Bowls in his five seasons in Dallas. Sanders is considered the greatest cover corner and one of the greatest punt returners in league history. If he played more than five seasons, "Prime Time" would definetly be much higher on this list. Sanders was not only a great two sport athlete, both pro baseball and football, but was also a great two way player when he played both receiver and corner back in the 1996 season.
