Quick question for you Cowboys historians.

A co-worker asked me about the Heisman trophy winning backfield for the Cowboys. Was is 2 (Dorsett, Walker) or 3? If it was 3, who else was it?

 

[Dodger]

Staubach.

Dorsett actually shared a backfield more years with another Heisman winner Staubach (3 years) than Walker (2, I think).

Walker started his NFL career in 1986.

Okay. I didn't realize they all played together. I thought Staubach was out before Walker was here.

Thanks!

Staubach never played with Walker. He retired after the 1979 season.
Dorsett shared both time with Staubach and Walker, but never the 3 together.

Ahh. That's what I originally thought. Thanks for clearing that up. This has been bugging me for days.

yes, meaning Dorsett shared a backfield with Staubach in 77,78, and 79. He shared a backfield with Walker 86 and 87.

3 years with Roger the Dodger and 2 with Herschel

Ah...okay. Wasn't sure what you meant.
