Why The Dallas Cowboys Are Kings of Undrafted Free Agency
By Erik Lambert
#6: Everson Walls
It feels like he’s sometimes forgotten in the grand spectacle of Cowboys history. Lost between the eras of Mel Renfro and Deion Sanders. Comes with the territory of not winning a championship. Harsh and unfair but still true. Everson Walls was nonetheless an excellent player for Dallas, reaching four Pro Bowls and collecting 44 interceptions during his nine years there. Unfortunately he got a measure of redemption when he won a Super Bowl with the Giants a year after he was cut.
#5: Mark Tuinei
His early career was a jumbled mess. First it was because the Cowboys had to figure out he was a better fit on the offensive line rather than defensive. Then back-to-back seasons of injury almost derailed his career entirely. Dallas, to their credit, stuck with Mark Tuinei and he rewarded them by eventually becoming one of the best left tackles in the NFL. He may have only reached two Pro Bowls but from 1991 to 1995 there was nobody better at the position.
