One of, if not the greatest Cowboy to ever dress-out. This guy was impressive his entire career. In the 90's, if a defensive play resulted in a tackle, number 40 could be seen as either the player making the tackle or he was in the immediate vicinity. This guy hustled his ass off like no one else. Loved watching his career with the 'BOYS! Surely his name deserves to be added to HOF roster!!
