13 Dallas Cowboys who should be considered for the Pro Football Hall of Fame
Which Cowboys are next in line to get enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame?
By J.B. Luke
Ralph Neely, OT, 1965-77
Neely became the Cowboys’ starting right tackle immediately after being drafted in 1965. He was named to the NFL’s All-Rookie team. He became a three-time All-Pro and two-time Pro Bowler at the position.
He shifted to left tackle in 1970 and manned the position for the rest of his career. It’s hard to make hall of fame cases for offensive lineman but playing such a vital position for one of the league’s great dynasties deserves more consideration.
Neely was elected to the 1960s All-Decade team, spending his entire career of 172 games with the Cowboys.
Neely has never been a finalist for the hall and would have to be brought up by the senior committee.
