OXNARD, Calif. – The Cowboys’ all-time leading tackler is about to get an ultimate recognition.
Darren Woodson will become the next member of the Cowboys Ring of Honor at AT&T Stadium, a move to be announced Tuesday at training camp.
Woodson, now a member of ESPN, has been at the camp site since Sunday.
The official ceremony will take place during the regular season this fall.
Woodson becomes the 21st player inducted, and the 19th player, and the first induction since the Cowboys added Drew Pearson, Larry Allen and Charles Haley at once in 2011.
A five-time Pro Bowler, Woodson is the only player in Cowboys history to play for five head coaches (Jimmy Johnson, Barry Switzer, Chan Gailey, Dave Campo and Bill Parcells.) He finished his career with 1,350 tackles, surpassing Lee Roy Jordan (1,236) in 2012.

“He’s the ultimate warrior. There’s no more like him,” said teammate Nate Newton. “He never left the field. He played all the special teams. He only left the field with the offense. He made everyone better. He was the back end to our defense.”
