Cowboys 60th Anniversary All-Time team prediction (players 60-41)

60. Herschel Walker, RB – 1986-1989

Walker played just three and half seasons in Dallas, only going over 1,000 yards once. He makes the All-time list thanks to what became known as the Great Train Robbery when Johnson and Jones traded Walker to the Minnesota Vikings for an insane number of draft picks that would rebuild this franchise into a title contender within a few short years.

59. D.D. Lewis – LB, 1968-1981
58. Billy Joe Dupree – TE, 1973-1983
57. Bill Bates – S, 1983-1997
56. Dexter Coakley – LB, 1997-2004
55. Tony Tolbert – DE, 1989-1997
54. Jethro Pugh – DT, 1965-1978
53. Mark Tuinei – OT, 1983-1997
52. Tom Rafferty – C, 1976-1989
51. Mark Stepnoski – C, 1989-1994, 1999-2001

50. Greg Ellis – DE, 1998-2008

Some fans will also think of Ellis as the consolation prize due to the team passing on Randy Moss to draft Ellis in 1997. Still, he had a stellar career in Dallas, posting seven seasons of 7.5+ sacks on his way to 77 career sacks in Big D.

49. Calvin Hill – RB, 1969-1974
48. Flozell Adams – T, 1998-2009
47. Don Meredith – QB, 1960-1968
46. Herbert Scott – G, 1975-1984
45. Jim Jeffcoat – DE, 1983-1994
44. Terrell Owens – WR, 2006-2008
43. Dennis Thurman – CB, 1978-1985
42. Dak Prescott – QB, 2016-present
41. Daryl Johnston – FB, 1989-1999
