Lets remember some former Cowboy players that were not stars, but at one time they played a bigger role than they were ever given credit for...I'll name a few:
Preston Pearson: Back when Dallas first implemented the shotgun and were the only team using it...Preston Pearson would come out of the back field on a "wheel route" and get first down after first down. At one point, he was the only Cowboy on the roster that had ever played for another team. (Steelers).
Bill Bates...self explanatory. Special teams guru.
Steve Beurlein: I think he was only on the team one..maybe two years...but he won a couple of games as starting QB. I believe a playoff win. (but I didnt check this so correct me if my memory is failing)
Kelvin Martin: # 83. Clutch punt returner. Solid hands and made some 3rd down catches. Still remember his punt return at The Vet. I think it was a December game and cold and windy. He returned a punt for a TD that was huge on a day when the offense sputtered.
Got any guys to add?
