13 Dallas Cowboys who should be considered for the Pro Football Hall of Fame

[CCBoy]

Lee Roy Jordan, LB, 1963-76​

There is arguably not a more deserving former Cowboy more deserving of enshrinement in Canton than Jordan.

Ed “Too Tall” Jones, DE, 1974-89​

Too Tall was the No. 1 overall pick in 1973 and lived up to the billing.

Don Meredith, QB, 1960-68​

Dandy Don is one of the greatest personalities the NFL has ever produced.

Jason Witten, TE, 2003-18​

Being consistently great has to count for something. And there isn’t a Cowboy who showed up ready for work more often than Witten.

Everson Walls, CB, 1981-89​

Walls was a shutdown cover corner, who made a massive impact during his rookie season in 1981, intercepting 11 passes. He led the league in interceptions two other times in his career.

Darren Woodson, S, 1992-2003​

The Cowboys’ all-time leading tackler (813 solo), Woodson is the most recent entrant to the team’s Ring of Honor. Woodson was a member of all three Super Bowl winning teams in the 1990s and made three straight All-Pro teams and five straight Pro Bowls.

Harvey Martin, DE, 1973-83​

It took a generational pass rusher like DeMarcus Ware to eclipse Martin’s franchise sack record.

Cornell Green, CB, 1962-74​

One of legendary scout Gil Brandt’s greatest discoveries, Green didn’t play football until he reached the NFL. He was a basketball star in college.

Tony Romo, QB, 2004-16​

Romo is the most polarizing player in franchise history.

Ralph Neely, OT, 1965-77​

Neely became the Cowboys’ starting right tackle immediately after being drafted in 1965. He was named to the NFL’s All-Rookie team. He became a three-time All-Pro and two-time Pro Bowler at the position.

Nate Newton, OG, 1986-98​

The Cowboys had one of the greatest offensive lines of all time during the 1990’s. Yet only one player off that line – Larry Allen – is in the Hall of Fame.

George Andrie, DE, 1962-72​

Andrie ranks as one of the most underrated players in franchise history.

Charlie Waters, S, 1970-81​

The back end of the Doomsday defense was special.

So many great players but Woodson really stands out to me first and foremost

 

[big dog cowboy]

I've said it before many times. They should have a special HOF Ceremony just for the former Cowboys who have been screwed over since they have become eligible. Probably set an attendance record at the stadium and tv ratings would be an all time high record. At least Howley FINALLY got in.

 

[Teague31]

Pretty sure Romo is no longer the most polarizing player in franchise history.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds058]

Stunned Green was not in the HOF already.

 

[Captain-Crash]

Lee Roy and Dandy need to be next for sure. Great players.

Waters and Harris were great too.

 

[Shane612]

Jordan: Yes
Witten: Yes
Woodson: Yes
Martin: Yes
Green: Yes
Neely: Yes
Ed Jones: He was my favorite back in the day, but sadly it's a No.

Romo is not HoF worthy.

 

[Tussinman]

Romo is not HoF worthy.

Agreed. If he had repeated his 2014 season 2 more times (so kept the same play but for 2015 and 2016) then that would of probably been enough to eventually get in. He in that case would of been 6x pro bowl, over 40k, over 300td, and top 3 in the MVP vote 3x

They must’ve put Romo’s names in for clicks unless they want to factor in his broadcasting career which is premature to do.

Yeah that’s not enough to get in without a SB. Had Romo got one ring his stats would’ve been good enough.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Isn’t Don Meredith one of the greatest announcers of all time? I did not know he wasn’t in the Hall.

 

[kskboys]

You missed Cliff Harris

 

[Carson]

You missed Cliff Harris

Cliff is already in.

Charlie however is not.

Loved him on TD 99 yards race to the end zone. Lol

this list is awesome, only change I would make is just rename it and remove Witten, because he is so recent and a shoe in, he is 100% going to get in soon.

 

[KJJ]

Don Meredith was a gutsy QB, but he wasn’t even remotely close to a Hall of Fame QB. Romo has no shot at the Hall of Fame. Some of you clearly don’t understand what the Hall of Fame is all about.

 

[cowboys5xsbs]

Romo is not HoF worthy.

People say Rivers was HOF worthy and Eli. Romo was better than both.

 

[pansophy]

Romo is not HoF worthy.

He might be with a 25 year broadcasting career.

Don't volunteer to replace Gabriel at the Gates to Heaven any time soon...
