Has there been any players in Dallas from the "U" since Irvin?

I am trying to think if we got anybody via free agency or drafted anybody from the University of Miami.It's funny how it seems that we stay away from players from certain schools. I think that Irvin was the last one we had on the squad.

Another school we tend to stay away from for some reason is Penn State.Other than Rivera via free agency,I can't remember any players from Penn State on Dallas since 1990.

Could somebody please shed some light that knows someboys history on this matter?Thanks in advance and Go Cowboys,this season has been like christmas for me since the first week!

I wish we would have stayed away from LSU.

Kevin Williams. Drafted after Irvin but before Mike's off-the field probs started.
Don't believe the lack of UM players is by design due to Irvin's escapades. More likely just by circumstance. JJ still thinks enough of Mike to let him in the owner's box so I doubt he would have issues drafting a UM player if one was available where they felt he should be picked.

DT Jimmie Jones played for Jimmy Johnson at Miami and then for Jimmy Johnson and Jerry Jones at Dallas, how's that for a tongue twister.

Darren Smith LB. He was part of the tandem that was Barrow, Armstead and Smith.

Quality person and player.

Daniel Stubbs.

Kenny Philips is not an option. We are fine at Safety.

And one of the more underrated and underappreciated seasons in recent memory, mainly due to the fact that it happened during the first of our three 5-11 campaigns. Anthony Henry reminds me so much of him.

I actually own a Cowboys Ryan McNeil jersey.

Randy Shannon, who was a LB with Miami and is now their coach.

Don't forget his partner in the linebacking corps at UM, Rod Carter. Don't think he made it past '89 training camp though.

Going alright, I suppose.

Cowboys winning like they are is really making this winter fun, huh?

I hope we make it all the way to Arizona and kick the **** out of the Patriots. :cool:
