Brandt becomes the fourth non-player inducted to Canton, joining Tom Landry, Tex Schramm and Jerry Jones.
On top of the 17 inductees, eight other coaches and players with ties to the Cowboys have been inducted into the Hall of Fame: Forrest Gregg, Mike Ditka, Herb Adderley, Lance Alworth, Tommy McDonald, Bill Parcells, Jackie Smith and Terrell Owens.
