Constructing a list of the top 25 players for any NFL franchise would be a challenge, but doing so for the Dallas Cowboys proved to be particularly difficult, given the lengthy list of legends who've sported a star on the side of their helmet over the years.
That's not to disrespect other teams, of course, but we feel fully confident in saying that some of the names who didn't make this list for America's Team would easily crack the top 25 elsewhere. I mean, when this top 25 doesn't include players such as Dez Bryant, Charles Haley, Tony Hill, Ed "Too Tall" Jones, Don Meredith, Nate Newton, Micah Parsons, Drew Pearson, Don Perkins, Tony Romo, and Tyron Smith, among others, you know it's a strong one.
If you didn't notice, we went alphabetically there on the honorable mentions, as not to cause any arguments about how even those players would rank. Because we all know not everyone's going to agree on some of the players who did make the list, nor is everyone going to agree on the order. But that's the fun part, right?
So, without further ado, let's go ahead and get that fun going, as we count down the 25 greatest players in Dallas Cowboys history.
25. Ezekiel Elliott, RB (2016-2022, 2024)
This first entry at No. 25 will undoubtedly be one of the most controversial, given the players we left off the list, but Ezekiel Elliott deserves to be here, as he's unquestionably the third-best running back to ever wear a Cowboys uniform.
A first-round pick in 2016, the Ohio State alum led the league in rushing as a rookie, tallying 1,631 yards and an NFL-best 15 touchdowns en route to earning a Pro Bowl selection and a First-Team All-Pro nod, and won a second rushing title two years later with 1,434 yards, earning a second trip to the Pro Bowl and Second-Team All-Pro honors. He earned a third Pro Bowl selection the following season with 1,357 yards.
In eight seasons with the Cowboys, Elliott amassed 8,488 yards and 71 touchdowns on the ground, both of which are good for third all-time in franchise history, and added another 2,405 yards and 12 touchdowns on 317 receptions.
24. Everson Walls, CB (1981-1989)
We continue with the first of three consecutive cornerbacks here at No. 24, who just happens to be the best Cowboys player ever to wear No. 24, that being Everson Walls.
Undrafted out of Grambling State in 1981, the Dallas native cracked the starting lineup just a few weeks into his rookie season and went on to set a new team record with a league-best 11 interceptions to earn a Pro Bowl berth. And those 11 picks are still a franchise record, by the way, although Trevon Diggs did tie the mark in 2021.
Walls went on to lead the league in picks two more times over the next four seasons, a stretch during which he earned another three trips to the Pro Bowl and a pair of All-Pro selections (one First Team, one Second Team), and when he left the Cowboys following the 1989 campaign, he'd tallied 44 interceptions, which were the most in team history at the time and are still good for the second-most behind only a player we'll see a little later on.
23. Deion Sanders, CB (1995-1999)
Continuing with the next cornerback, we come to the great Deion Sanders, who could very well be one of the top 25 players in NFL history when taking his entire career into account. But as we're only counting Cowboys things here, "Prime Time" just made the cut here at No. 23, which is still impressive, seeing as he only played five seasons in Dallas.
After five seasons with the Atlanta Falcons and one with the San Francisco 49ers, winning Defensive Player of the Year with the latter, Sanders joined America's Team in 1995 and helped the team to its third Super Bowl victory in four years.
In the four seasons that followed, Deion earned four Pro Bowl selections and four All-Pro nods (three First Team, one Second Team), while also finishing fifth in the DPOY voting in 1998 after finishing with five picks, one of which he returned for a touchdown. In his five years with the Cowboys, Sanders tallied 14 interceptions, returning two for scores, also adding one touchdown as a receiver and another four on punt returns.
22. Cornell Green, CB (1962-1974)
The beauty of Cornell Green's career is that he didn't play a single down of college football, as he played basketball at Utah State, where he was twice named an All-American, and was actually taken in the fifth round of the 1962 NBA Draft by the Chicago Packers.
Feeling he was too small to play forward at the professional level, the 6-foot-3, 208-pounder signed as an undrafted free agent with the Cowboys, who thought he'd make a good defensive back. And they obviously turned out to be correct, as he ultimately became one of the best and most versatile in the league.
First playing cornerback from 1962 to 1969, Green earned three trips to the Pro Bowl and four total All-Pro selections (two First Team, two Second Team), and after converting to safety in 1970, he earned two more Pro Bowl berths, the first of which was in the Cowboys' first Super Bowl-winning season of 1971. Green ultimately tallied 34 interceptions during his 13-year run with the team, which remain good for a tie for the fifth-most in franchise history.
21. Bob Hayes, WR (1965-1974)
A two-time gold medalist at the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, winning one on his own in the 100-meter dash and another as part of the 4x100 relay team, "Bullet" Bob Hayes was taken by Dallas in the seventh round of that same year's NFL draft as a future selection and began his NFL career in 1965, tallying 1,003 yards and a league-high 12 touchdowns as a rookie en route to earning the first of three straight Pro Bowl berths.
The Florida A&M alum again led the NFL in receiving scores in 1966, with 13, and had his second straight 1,000-yard season with 1,232 yards on 64 receptions, earning the first of three straight All-Pro selections, receiving First-Team honors in 1966 and 1968 and Second-Team honors in 1967.
In 10 seasons with Dallas, Hayes amassed 365 receptions for 7,295 yards with 71 receiving touchdowns, which are good for the third-most in team history, while adding another two scores as a rusher and an additional three on punt returns.
20. Darren Woodson, S (1992-2003)
A second-round pick in 1992 out of Arizona State, where he played linebacker, Darren Woodson transitioned to strong safety at the professional level and quickly established himself as a solid contributor in helping the Cowboys to back-to-back Super Bowl wins in 1992 and 1993.
The Phoenix native had his true breakout year in 1994 in helping Dallas get back to the NFC title game, racking up five interceptions en route to earning his first trip to the Pro Bowl and a First-Team All-Pro nod, again earning both in helping the Cowboys to a third Super Bowl win in four years in 1995 and again earning both in 1996. He went on to earn two more Pro Bowl berths in 1997 and 1998.
Woodson is the only player in Cowboys history to play for five different head coaches, but despite all the turnover, he produced throughout his 12-year career and remains the team's all-time leading tackler, while also sitting in second in special teams tackles.
19. CeeDee Lamb, WR (2020-Present)
Cue the controversy card, as I'm sure there are plenty of you reading this who don't agree with CeeDee Lamb already ranking in the top 20, especially with a couple of the other famous receivers to wear No. 88, Drew Pearson and Dez Bryant not making the list. But we obviously feel he deserves this spot.
A first-round pick of Dallas in 2020, the Oklahoma alum already ranks third in franchise history in both receptions and receiving yards, trailing only two players we'll see later. And the fact that he owns the single-season franchise record in both of those categories naturally played a part in this selection, with Lamb setting both marks in 2023 with 135 catches for 1,749 yards en route to earning a Pro Bowl berth, a First-Team All-Pro selection, and a third-place finish in the Offensive Player of the Year voting.
18. Lee Roy Jordan, LB (1963-1976)
Taken sixth overall by the Cowboys in the 1963 NFL Draft, Lee Roy Jordan manned the middle of the original version of the "Doomsday Defense" and snuck into the second version at the end of his career as well.
It took the Alabama alum a few seasons to find his footing, but once he did, despite being one of the smaller middle linebackers in the league at 6-foot-1 and 220 pounds, he was undoubtedly one of the most ferocious players at the position, ultimately earning five Pro Bowl selections in the eight-season stretch from 1967 to 1974.
The beauty in Jordan's game is that not only was he a strong tackler, racking up nearly 750 solo in his career, but he also knew how to find the football, as he tallied 32 interceptions, the most of any linebacker in team history and the seventh-most of any player to don a Dallas uniform. While Jordan somehow never managed to receive a single All-Pro selection, which is absurd, he was the first player ever chosen by Jerry Jones for induction into the Cowboys' famed Ring of Honor.
17. Harvey Martin, DE (1973-1983)
Moving back to the defensive side of the football, we come to the legendary Harvey Martin.
A third-round pick in 1973, the East Texas State product spent the entirety of his 11-year career with the Cowboys, ultimately earning four trips to the Pro Bowl and four total All-Pro selections (one First Team, three Second Team).
That one First-Team selection also came with a Defensive Player of the Year trophy in 1977, a season in which Dallas hoisted the Lombardi Trophy for the second time. And in that Super Bowl 12 victory over the Denver Broncos, Martin tallied two sacks and was named co-MVP alongside Randy White, marking the first and still only time teammates have shared the honor.
While sacks didn't become an official NFL stat until 1982, our pals at Pro Football Reference have numbers dating back to the Cowboys' first year of existence in 1960, and if you trust those totals, which we do, Martin amassed 114.0 during his career, giving him the second-most in team history.
16. Cliff Harris, S (1970-1979)
Unselected in the 1970 NFL Draft out of Ouachita Baptist, Cliff Harris signed with the Cowboys as an undrafted free agent and is one of less than 25 players in league history to go undrafted and still make their way into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Harris became a full-time starter at free safety in his second season, and while other members of that vaunted "Doomsday Defense" of the 1970s may have gotten more attention, the Arkansas native certainly did plenty of damage and was one of the most consistent and reliable players of the decade, helping the Cowboys to two Super Bowl titles.
In 10 years in Big D, Harris earned six trips to the Pro Bowl and three First-Team All-Pro selections, while tallying 29 interceptions during the regular and another six in the playoffs.
15. Dak Prescott, QB (2016-Present)
We're certain some will have a problem with this, but Dak Prescott deserves this spot.
Does he have the rings that the two other quarterbacks on this list have? Obviously not. But let's get real here. A four-time Pro Bowler, a one-time All-Pro, and a one-time runner-up for NFL MVP, Prescott has the most completions in Cowboys history, the most passing yards in Cowboys history, the most touchdown passes in Cowboys history, the highest completion percentage in Cowboys history, and the highest passer rating in Cowboys history.
Don't tell me Dak doesn't belong here.
14. Chuck Howley, LB (1961-1973)
When we constructed our list of the greatest Cowboys players to wear every jersey number, we sadly had to leave legendary linebacker Chuck Howley out, as a player you'll see soon beat him out at No. 54. But we're certainly not leaving him out here, as the Hall of Fame linebacker checks in at No. 14.
A first-round pick in 1958 of the Chicago Bears, with whom he spent two seasons, the West Virginia alum nearly retired after suffering a severe knee injury. But after sitting out the 1960 campaign, he signed with the Cowboys in 1961 and went on to appear in 165 regular-season games for America's Team, starting 161 of them, and another 11 in the playoffs.
One of those 11 postseason games was Super Bowl 5, and while Dallas lost that day to the Baltimore Colts, Howley became the first and still only player to win MVP honors for the losing side. He had a case for the honor when Dallas won its first title the following year, as he recorded a 41-yard interception and a fumble recovery, but didn't win it.
In 13 seasons with the Cowboys, Howley earned six trips to the Pro Bowl and five First-Team All-Pro selections.
13. Rayfield Wright, OT (1967-1979)
As one would imagine, we've seen a lot of players from the first Dallas dynasty of the 1970s on this list thus far, and we've got yet another here in the No. 13 slot in Hall of Fame offensive tackle Rayfield Wright.
A seventh-round pick of the Cowboys in 1967 out of Fort Valley State, Wright spent most of the first three years of his pro career at tight end, which was one of several positions he played collegiately, also spending time at defensive end, safety, and even punter.
Wright made all of two catches in those first three years, but after getting a small taste at offensive tackle in 1969 due to an injury to Ralph Neely, he won the starting job at right tackle leading into the 1970 campaign and went on to become one of the best in franchise history, earning six trips to the Pro Bowl and five All-Pro selections (three First Team, two Second Team) while helping the Cowboys to a pair of titles.
12. Zack Martin, G (2014-2024)
From one famous No. 70 to another, we come to yet another offensive lineman in guard Zack Martin.
Taken 16th overall by Dallas in 2014, the Notre Dame alum wasted little time in proving he was worth the first-round selection, earning a Pro Bowl selection, a First-Team All-Pro nod, and a second-place finish in the Offensive Rookie of the Year voting, which is just wild for an O-lineman.
And that was just the beginning of an incredible career, as Martin went on to earn eight more trips to the Pro Bowl, with those nine selections being good for a tie for the fifth-most in franchise history, and an additional eight All-Pro nods (six First Team, two Second Team), with his seven First-Team selections being good for a tie for the most in team history.
11. DeMarcus Ware, LB (2005-2013)
Speaking of players who made an immediate impact, we come to legendary linebacker DeMarcus Ware, who was taken by Dallas in the first round of the 2005 NFL Draft with the 11th overall selection.
While the Troy State product failed to make the Pro Bowl or earn an All-Pro selection, he did take a fourth-place finish in the Defensive Rookie of the Year voting after amassing 8.0 sacks. And the individual accolades just started coming and coming from there, as the next seven seasons brought seven Pro Bowl selections and seven All-Pro nods (four First Team, three Second Team).
Ware's best season came in 2008, when he tied Harvey Martin's franchise record for sacks in a single season, racking up a ridiculous 20.0. And he nearly matched that number three seasons later, tallying 19.5 in 2011. When he was released following the 2013 season, he'd amassed an incredible 117.0 sacks in just nine years, thus moving him past Martin for the most in Cowboys history.
10. Jason Witten, TE (2003-2017, 2019)
Kicking off the top 10, we've got one of the top tight ends in NFL history in the great Jason Witten.
A third-round pick of Dallas in 2003, the Tennessee alum was just 20 years of age when he made his NFL debut, but that didn't stop him from making an impact early, as he started seven of 15 games as a rookie and caught 35 passes for a respectable 347 yards, which would turn out to be his lowest totals in both categories until the final year of his career, which was spent with the Las Vegas Raiders in 2020.
In between, Witten earned 11 trips to the Pro Bowl, the most of any offensive player in team history, and four All-Pro selections (two First Team, two Second Team). And including that rookie season, in 16 years with the Cowboys, he appeared in 255 regular-season games, a team record, and set new franchise marks for receptions (1,215), receiving yards (12,977), while scoring the second-most receiving touchdowns (72).
9. Mel Renfro, CB (1964-1977)
Our first top-10 entry on the defensive side of the ball is Hall of Fame defensive back Mel Renfro, who played both safety and cornerback during his 14-year career, all of which was spent in Dallas, and excelled in both positions. He was also one of the league's top return men for the first few years of his career.
A superstar running back at the University of Oregon, Renfro was converted to safety after being taken by Dallas in the second round of the 1964 NFL Draft and clearly had no trouble with the transition, tallying seven interceptions as a rookie, one of which he returned for a touchdown, while also leading the league in both punt return yards (418) and kickoff return yards (1,018).
The 6-foot, 190-pounder played safety for the first six years of his career, earning six Pro Bowl selections and a trio of Second-Team All-Pro nods, and after moving to cornerback in 1970, he earned another four Pro Bowl nods and a fourth Second-Team All-Pro selection.
The two-time Super Bowl champ ended his career with 52 interceptions, which remain the most in Cowboys history.
8. Tony Dorsett, RB (1977-1987)
We haven't featured a running back since we saw Zeke to open the list, but we've finally got the second one here in the No. 8 slot with the great Tony Dorsett.
The Heisman Trophy winner in 1976 at Pitt, Dorsett was taken second overall by Dallas in the 1977 draft and quickly made his presence felt, rushing for 1,007 yards and 12 touchdowns and adding another 273 yards and a touchdown on 29 receptions en route to winning Offensive Rookie of the Year honors. He then added 222 rushing yards and four touchdowns during the Cowboys' march to a second Super Bowl title, and his career was off and running (literally) from there.
In 11 seasons with Dallas, the Pennsylvania native earned four Pro Bowl selections and three All-Pro nods (one First Team, two Second Team), while surpassing the 1,000-yard mark eight times. The only time he didn't reach 1,000 yards in his first nine seasons was in 1982, when the season was shortened to just nine games due to a players' strike. But what he did do that year was reel off a 99-yard touchdown run, which is obviously a record that could only be tied (which Derrick Henry did), never broken.
Dorsett ended his 11-year tenure in Dallas having rushed for 12,036 yards and 72 touchdowns, both of which were franchise records at the time and both of which currently stand as the second-most in team history.
7. Michael Irvin, WR (1988-1999)
After a strong collegiate career at the University of Miami, where he played for none other than Jimmy Johnson, won a national championship, and set the school records for receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns, Michael Irvin was taken by Dallas in the first round of the 1988 NFL Draft at No. 11 overall, making him Tom Landry's last first-round pick, and then became the first rookie wideout to start a season opener for Landry in two decades.
Sporting the No. 88 that hadn't been worn since Drew Pearson retired, the 6-foot-2, 207-pounder was solid contributor for the first few years of his career before becoming an absolute star in 1991, as he caught 93 passes for a league-leading 1,523 yards with eight touchdowns to earn the first of five consecutive Pro Bowl selections and the first of three consecutive All-Pro selections, earning First-Team honors in that '91 season and Second-Team honors in the two seasons that followed.
Those '92 and '93 campaigns, of course, resulted in Super Bowl titles, and Irvin was one of the big reasons for that success, as he went for more than 1,300 yards in both seasons and scored a combined 17 touchdowns between the regular season and postseason, including two alone in Super Bowl 27. He then went for a career-best 1,603 yards in the Cowboys' Super Bowl-winning season in 1995.
When his career was cut short in 1999 after suffering a severe neck injury, Irvin had amassed 750 receptions for 11,904 yards, both of which stood as franchise records until both were broken by Witten. He also went for 65 career receiving touchdowns, which remain the fourth-most in team history.
6. Larry Allen, G/T (1994-2005)
Considered by most to be the strongest player in NFL history, Larry Allen is also considered by many to be the greatest offensive lineman in Cowboys history, which is why he sits in this slot at No. 6.
A second-round pick of Dallas in 1994 out of Sonoma State, the 6-foot-3, 335-pounder was not only strong but also extremely versatile, as he started at every single position of the offensive line except for center during his dozen-year run in Dallas. But no matter where he lined up, he thrived.
After spending most of his time at right tackle as a rookie, Allen then played right guard for three seasons, earning three Pro Bowl selections and three All-Pro nods (two First Team, one Second Team). He then spent one season at left tackle and earned a trip to the Pro Bowl and a First-Team All-Pro nod. And in seven years at left guard, he earned six Pro Bowl selections and three First-Team All-Pro nods.
So, it's pretty easy to see why Allen takes the top spot on this list among offensive linemen.
5. Troy Aikman, QB (1989-2000)
We kick off the top five with none other than Troy Aikman, who may not have posted the same kind of numbers some quarterbacks of his era did, but was exactly who the Cowboys needed under center during the dynastic years of the 1990s.
Yes, Dallas obviously had a plethora of talented players for those three title wins, but No. 8 was the leader of that group, and that obviously counts for quite a bit. And it's not as if he didn't put up big numbers at times, especially when it mattered most.
Taken No. 1 overall by Dallas in 1989, Aikman struggled a bit over his first two years but found his footing in 1991, earning the first of six straight Pro Bowl selections. In 1992, of course, he led the Cowboys to their first Super Bowl victory in 15 years and took MVP honors in the process, throwing for 273 yards and four touchdowns in a 52-17 blowout of the Buffalo Bills.
Overall, in the Cowboys' three Super Bowl wins, Aikman completed a combined 70 percent of his passes for 689 yards with six touchdowns versus only two interceptions, giving him a passer rating of 110.9. He's one of only five quarterbacks in history to win at least three Super Bowls, the others being Tom Brady (7), Terry Bradshaw (4), Joe Montana (4), and Patrick Mahomes (3).
4. Randy White, DT (1975-1988)
Remember us earlier talking about the player who beat out Chuck Howley for the best Cowboys player to wear No. 54 and the guy who took co-MVP honors alongside Harvey Martin in Super Bowl 12? Yeah, those were both Randy White.
Taken second overall by Dallas in 1975 as part of the famed "Dirty Dozen" draft class, the Maryland alum only started one game over his first two seasons before taking over the starting spot at right defensive tackle in that Super Bowl-winning 1977 campaign, and he was one of the most dominant defenders in the entire NFL for nearly a decade.
In the nine-season stretch from 1977 to 1985, White earned nine trips to the Pro Bowl, eight total All-Pro selections (seven First Team, two Second Team), and six top-four finishes in the Defensive Player of the Year voting, although he never did manage to win it, coming closest as the runner-up in both 1982 and 1983. His nine Pro Bowl nods are tied for the fifth-most in team history, and his seven First-Team All-Pro selections are tied for the most in franchise history.
During his 14-year career with the Cowboys, White tallied 111.0 sacks, good for the third-most in Cowboys history.
3. Bob Lilly, DT (1961-1974)
Coming in at No. 3 is "Mr. Cowboy" himself, Bob Lilly.
While Dallas played its first NFL season in 1960, the team had missed out on the 1960 draft, as it had been held before the franchise was officially approved. As such, when the Cowboys took Lilly in the first round in 1961 at No. 13 overall, the TCU alum became the first player ever drafted by America's Team. And what a pick that would turn out to be.
Lilly played his first two seasons at left defensive end, earning a Pro Bowl berth in his second season in 1962, but when Landry moved him to right defensive tackle in 1963, his career absolutely skyrocketed, as he became one of the best defenders of all time while helping Dallas transition from an expansion team into a legitimate title contender.
In the 10-season stretch from 1964 to 1973, Lilly earned an additional 10 trips to the Pro Bowl, eight total All-Pro selections (seven First Team, one Second Team), two top-four finishes in the Defensive Player of the Year voting, and even three top-nine finishes in the NFL MVP voting, his highest finish in the former being a runner-up in the Cowboys' title-winning season in 1971, and his highest finish in the latter being fourth in 1968.
His 11 Pro Bowl nods are tied for the most in team history alongside Witten's, and his seven First-Team All-Pro selections are also good for a tie for the most in franchise history. Lilly tallied 95.5 sacks during his 14-year career, good for the seventh-most in team history, and actually scored four touchdowns, three on fumble recoveries and another on the lone interception he ever made. The Hall of Famer also holds the distinction of being the first player ever inducted into the Ring of Honor.
2. Emmitt Smith, RB (1990-2002)
Some may not like the NFL's all-time leader in both rushing yards and rushing touchdowns sitting in the runner-up slot on this list, but that's where we've got Emmitt Smith.
Taken by Dallas in the first round of the 1990 NFL Draft at No. 17, the Florida alum quickly established himself as one of the top rushers in the league, winning Offensive Rookie of the Year after running for 935 yards and 11 touchdowns, with those 935 yards representing the lowest total he'd hit until a 975-yard campaign in his final year with the team in 2002, which is when he broke Walter Payton's rushing record.
In between, Smith had 11 straight 1,000-yard seasons, topping out with a league-leading 1,773 during the Cowboys' Super Bowl-winning season in 1995, which was also the year he tallied a career-best 25 touchdowns on the ground. Just two years earlier, in winning the second of his four rushing titles, he became the first and still only regular-season MVP in Cowboys history and also took Super Bowl MVP honors in the team's second straight win over the Buffalo Bills in the title game.
In 13 years with the Cowboys, Smith amassed an incredible 17,162 rushing yards and 153 rushing touchdowns during the regular season, adding another 1,586 yards and 19 touchdowns in the postseason. The first-ballot Hall of Famer was also a solid receiver out of the backfield, tallying 3,012 yards and 11 scores on 486 regular-season receptions, adding another 46 grabs for 342 yards and two scores in the playoffs.
1. Roger Staubach, QB (1969-1979)
Last and obviously not least, it should come as no surprise to anyone to see Hall of Fame quarterback Roger Staubach here at No. 1. Like it was with Aikman, Staubach may not have the most gaudy numbers among his fellow QBs in Canton, but it was No. 12 who turned the Cowboys from contenders to champions in the 1970s, leading the team to its first two titles.
After winning the Heisman Trophy as a junior at Navy in 1963, Staubach was taken by Dallas in the 10th round of the 1964 NFL Draft as a future selection, with the Cowboys knowing they wouldn't have him on the roster for several years due to his military commitments, which ultimately included a tour of duty in Vietnam.
The Cincinnati native finally began his NFL career in 1969 at the age of 27 but only started four games in his first two years before becoming the full-time starter in 1971 at the age of 29, going 10-0 in his 10 starts during the regular season and then 3-0 in leading Dallas to its first Super Bowl win, earning MVP honors in the 24-3 victory over the Miami Dolphins.
A shoulder injury cost him all but four games of the 1972 campaign, but after he returned in 1973, he missed just a handful of games over the remainder of his career. And he only got better as his career progressed. In the final five years of his career from 1975 to 1979, he went 61-22 between the regular season and postseason, earned five consecutive trips to the Pro Bowl, and finished fourth in the NFL MVP voting in his two final campaigns in 1978 and 1979.
Staubach retired in 1980 with the then-highest passer rating in NFL history and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1985.
And there you have it, folks. Let the arguments commence.
