Best Dallas Cowboys player to wear No. 91 played second-most games in team history

Welcome back to our series covering the best Dallas Cowboys players to wear every jersey number from No. 0 to No. 99.

Well, it took a while to get here, but after more than 90 entries highlighting quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, tight ends, offensive linemen, defensive linemen, linebackers, cornerbacks, safeties, kickers, and even a punter, there's one position we haven't yet hit. But we complete the list here at No. 91, as our official selection is none other than a long snapper, one who's made the second-most appearances of any player in franchise history.

But before we break things down, let's first have a look at everyone who's worn No. 91 for America's Team over the years.

Darren Benson, DT
Leonardo Carson, DT
Walt Johnson, DT
L.P. Ladouceur, LS
Isaiah Land, LB
Otito Ogbonnia, DT
Dimitrius Underwood, DT
Matt Vanderbeek, LB
Carlos Watkins, DL
Tyrus Wheat, DE

As you can see, this isn't a lengthy list, and if forced to choose a runner-up, that honor would go to defensive end Carlos Watkins, who had two stints with the Cowboys, the first from 2021 to 2022 and the second in 2024. It was during the first run that he sported No. 91, a run that saw him tally 58 total tackles, one sack, and one interception in 27 regular-season apperances. Upon his return in 2024, he wore No. 92, making a dozen tackles in 15 games.

So, with all due respect, outside of our selection, that's the level we're dealing with for this digit. As for that selection, if you haven't already guessed, the nod goes to L.P. LaDouceur.

L.P. LaDouceur played 262 total games for the Dallas Cowboys over 16 seasons

A native of Montreal, LaDouceur spent his collegiate career at Cal-Berkeley, where he saw limited action in his first two seasons before becoming the Golden Bears' full-time long snapper as a junior, also seeing time on other special teams units. He was actually drafted into the CFL in 2004 but opted to return to Cal for his senior season.

After going unselected in the 2005 NFL Draft, he signed as an undrafted free agent with the New Orleans Saints, who waived him during training camp. Without a job for nearly a month,
LaDouceur signed with the Cowboys a few weeks into the regular season, as they were having issues with their own rookie long snapper, Jon Condo, who they'd signed as an undrafted free agent and beat out Jeff Robinson in training camp.

In his NFL debut, LaDouceur was perfect on five punts and two field goals, thus allowing Dallas to waive Condo, who did ultimately go on to have a fine career, playing 14 seasons, mostly with the then-Oakland Raiders.

As for LaDouceur, he went on to enjoy a 16-year career, all of which was spent in Dallas. And in those 16 seasons, he never missed a single game or even a single snap, for that matter, at least not one for which he was needed.

In total, the 6-foot-5, 255-pounder appeared in 253 regular-season contests, which are good for the second-most in Cowboys history behind only Jason Witten's 255, also appearing in nine postseason games.

LaDouceur, who sadly made just a single Pro Bowl, was just the third player ever to play 250 consecutive games for one team and also holds the record for the most appearances by a Canadian-born player, a mark previously held by former Dallas kicker Eddie Murray.

So, as you can see, he certainly deserves this title of the best Cowboys player to wear No. 91.
