Your Most Inspirational Cowboy

[GenoT]

ONE player only, please.

For me, Lee Roy Jordan. He was always near the ball.

Randy White! I know him personally and know the passion he had for Coach Landry and the Cowboys!!! He hates some of the greats that may come up in this thread, but I will not break his trust with any info!!!

 

[Corso]

Billy Bates.

I hear Randy White hates him though.

 

[OmerV]

So many, but I'll go with Bill Bates. Through sheer desire and determination he got more out of less than any Cowboy I can think of.

 

[Tangle_Foot]

Rodger Staubach for me, service veteran, Captain comeback.

 

[MikeB80]

Keith Davis.

Took a bunch of bullets and kept on going.

this is the closest thing to a feel good story in the last 20 years.

The man, the myth, the legend, Jeff Heath.




Probably Dat Nguyen

 

[Howboutdemcowboys31]

Honestly probably Sean Lee. The guy just does everything the right way. It's a shame his body failed him.

 

[batman36]

Darren Woodson. He has said he had a tough upbringing...he got an education, became a really good player, and did/has shown class and professionalism in his career.

 

[JohnsKey19]

Emmitt. Not close.

Imagine being the first African-American players to play for the Cowboys in the early 1960s before modern civil rights laws. Here are some inspiring guys I will praise for overcoming the prejudices and racism they encountered early in their careers in Dallas:

• Frank Clarke- great TE and first receiving star for Cowboys in early 60s.
• Don Perkins- in the ROH. First great RB for Cowboys
• Mel Renfro- drafted by the Cowboys in their great 1964 draft- member of HOF. Tells stories of how hard it was to buy a house in Dallas as a young black player.
• Jethro Pugh- great DT on the first Doomsday Ds.
  
• Cornell Green- All pro safety of the 60s and early 70s.

This list could go on...All of these guys came to Dallas before the Civil rights laws that protect all Americans now from being discriminated against in housing. All these guys had to endure some racism in the early days of the Cowboys. Mel Renfro tells an amazing story about his struggle with housing when he first came here. All these guys were pioneers and paved the way for future black players.

Honestly, I didn't know that any of those guys were African American. I'm kinda proud of that!

Nope

TLDR

 

[Whyjerry]

Rodger Staubach for me, service veteran, Captain comeback.

So hard to do. I am going to give 3. Roger and Troy. My third is a surprise...Larry Allen. Guy just dominated for a decade. I could go White, Irvin, Tony D. The modern era I say Ware. A great player and good man that was wasted in Dallas.

 

[Whyjerry]

Darren Woodson. He has said he had a tough upbringing...he got an education, became a really good player, and did/has shown class and professionalism in his career.

Yeah Woodson. Another great one. So many to choose from. He was special.

 

[TwentyOne]

Billy Bates.

I hear Randy White hates him though.

I love me some deion.

But i have to admit bates brought the ****!
