Unlikely Contributors

[Verdict]

One of the things that really hit home with me as I look at the Dallas Cowboys roster is that it it filled with unlikely contributors. It all begins with Tony Romo, an UDFA. Whoever you credit with picking him up off the scrap heap after draft day needs to be well rewarded. The roster seems to have an inordinate number of contributors that were UDFA or late round players that are substantial contributors, or should challenge for playing time.

Good post Verdict. I'd like to add Jay Ratliff to your list in terms of where he was drafted and what he's contributing and will contribute in this defense ths year.

On offense, yes.

Romo - UDFA
TO - The guy no one wanted.
TG - Acquired with a 6th rounder.
L. Davis - The busted underachiever.
Kosier - Detroit's castoff.
Colombo - Cut because of a "career ending" injury.
Crayton - 7th round pick.
Hoyte - UDFA

On defense, we've got so many first rounders, I don't feel like counting that high.

Damn sounds like the Oakland Raiders of the 70's. Cast off and misfits. :laugh2:
