The Dallas Cowboys are one of the greatest franchises in all of professional sports with a long and proud history and a championship pedigree. So many great players have represented this great organisation over the years so compiling a list of 53 of the best players in history is a tall order. Any attempt to create a Dallas Cowboys All-Time Dream Team is destined to be flawed somehow. There are bound to be some great names left off of the list and most assuredly there will be heated debate over who does and does not belong on any list. Here is my attempt at compiling the best 53 man roster of former and current Dallas Cowboys players.
