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
Ed “Too Tall” Jones, DE, 1974-89
Too Tall was the No. 1 overall pick in 1973 and lived up to the billing.
While sacks didn’t become an official NFL stat until 1982, the 6-9, 271-pound defensive end’s official number is just 57.5. However, the Cowboys credit him with 106, placing him fourth all-time in the franchise’s history behind DeMarcus Ware, Harvey Martin and Randy White.
Too Tall spent his entire 15-season career (it would have been 16 but Jones retired for a season to pursue a boxing career) with the Cowboys, becoming one of the most recognizable personalities in franchise history.
It’s strange Jones isn’t in the Cowboys’ Ring of Honor. He’s a worthy addition both at AT&T Stadium and Canton.
