Why The Dallas Cowboys Are Kings of Undrafted Free Agency

#4:  Cornell Green

Turns out Renfro wasn’t the only great corner the Cowboys had during their earliest run of dominance in the late ’60s. Cornell Green was also an excellent player in his own right, reaching five Pro Bowls and being a key part of their 1971 Super Bowl victory. He had 34 career interceptions over his long career and even make a successful transition to safety over his final five seasons. Not bad for a kid out of Utah State.

#3:  Drew Pearson

The problem with Drew Pearson isn’t that he wasn’t great. He most definitely was. It’s just that during his peak years in the 1970s, there was always somebody better. Despite having three Pro Bowls and a ring along with a myriad of clutch catches, his production isn’t overly impressive. Not in the context of other Hall of Fame players. Yet that doesn’t diminish his impact on the franchise and his deserving place in Canton.

#2:  Cliff Harris

His biggest career highlight wasn’t ideal, getting thrown down to the turf by Jack Lambert in Super Bowl X. A play that helped spark a Steelers comeback. Still, Harris made up for it by being an excellent player for Dallas across the entire 1970s decade. He’s one of the few players who was on both their championship teams, a six-time Pro Bowl safety who snagged 29 interceptions. On a defense loaded with stars, he was often forgotten. Not on this list.
