Underrated Players

You could put the 92 D on here number one if not mistaken no pro bowlers

Dez Bryant

Dat Nguyen- game-y, relentless LB'er

Lot of great answers but Nguyen & Coakley are two that pop to mind immediately.

Maybe because i was rewatching the 99 comeback win over the Commanders last night & Coakley was all over the place ....

Yep all our pro bowlers were on offense that year. It was one of the best defenses during the super bowl era. It's crazy that they didn't have any pro bowlers especially considering guys like Ken Norton,Jr. Really balled out in 1992.

My guy on the defensive line was Chad Henning. Me and John Madden always geeked out for him. I used to love how John would talk him up and he is such a bad man and my boy Erik Williams mauling people. I had to give Chad some love. He even lead the team in sacks in 1994.

Danny White was a great QB who inherited an old team.

Chuck Howley was the best LB in team history by a good margin.

Brock Marion never got credit and should have been re-signed.

Flozell Adams was a good lineman on a lot of terrible offensive lines.

Danny White! Yes! Guy was very underrated. Having to replace Roger was no small feat. White got dinged for not playing in the SB but that team was a few breaks away from playing in a couple with White leading at QB. The threat of a fake punt was always there. Good player.

Good choice! Chad Hennings was a bad dude.
He's one of the few that Charles Haley wouldn't mess with.
There's a cool story about that in the book 'Boys will be Boys' (I think).

Nice, I need to check that book out. I used to love how hard nosed Chad was as a player and how well he worked with that defensive line that I fee doesn't get enough credit of how well everyone played off each other. Jimmie Jones, Tony Castillias, Chad, Jim Jeffcoat all were great for us alongside Charles.

I've played the 'what if' game with White and that first NFC Championship.
People forget that SF turned it over 6 times in that game, but if Drew Pearson
doesn't get grabbed by his jersey at the end...

I was a Danny White fan. He was definitely underrated.

I remember my best friend calling me at halftime of a regular season game.
We were 10-12 years old. "His" Commanders were killing my Cowboys 23-3 and
he was calling to rub it in. I took the verbal abuse with no real retort aside
from the weak and desperate "it's not over yet".

White led the Cowboys to a 31-30 comeback victory! I called my buddy to
get the coveted "last word". He answers. I immediately "laugh at loud".
He hangs up. Good times... lol.

I don't remember for certain, but I'm sure the next day at middle school was a fun day for me.
Thanks to Danny White!

Yes, I agree.

Jim Jeffcoat was underrated.
Also, Tony Tolbert was underrated.
And young Leon Lett was also in that mix. Lots of talent in that rotation.
