Cowboys Legends Show: Overlooked Greatness

Throughout their history, the Cowboys have featured legends on defense who starred for the team over a number of years. Hall of Famers like Bob Lilly, Randy White, Charles Haley and DeMarcus Ware. And then there are those players who did make an impact, but for only a single shining season.

Dallas fans have had a front-row seat to watch some of the game's greatest offensive players enjoy lengthy careers of repeated success. But written within the franchise's storied history books are special players of another sort. Ones who also saw success on offense with the Cowboys … but only for a single remarkable season.

Timmy Newsome boasted a fullback's size with the quickness and moves of a tailback, which allowed him to become an integral part of Tom Landry's offense in the 1980s.

As an undrafted rookie, Mark Tuinei's chances for NFL success seemed slim. Instead, after switching from defense to offense, he became one of the greatest left tackles in Cowboys history. Here we tell the story of the gentle giant, a fierce warrior who was also a treasured teammate and friend.

Relive the story of Dallas Cowboys legend LB Dat Nguyen and his seven year journey or becoming the first Vietnamese-American to be drafted, play, and be recognized as an All-Pro in the NFL.

Larry Rudolph Cole is a former American football defensive lineman in the National Football League for the Dallas Cowboys. He played in five Super Bowls, winning Super Bowl VI and XII.

Although often overlooked among the many legends who played wide receiver for the Dallas Cowboys, Tony Hill actually finished his impressive career with statistics that still to this day rank among, and even lead, his more recognized Cowboys peers.

Mike Ditka was a Hall of Fame player with the Bears and led Chicago to a Super Bowl title as a head coach. But often forgotten is his time spent with the Cowboys, having finished his playing career in Dallas before entering the coaching ranks under the legendary Tom Landry.

Harvey Martin earned a certain reputation on the field as a dominating force on the Cowboys' Doomsday Defense of the 1970s. But in truth, one of the franchise's greatest sack artists was nothing like the mean persona that opposing quarterbacks feared.

His statement is famous: "Texas Stadium has a hole in the roof so God can watch His favorite team play." But to this day, D.D. Lewis is not. Yet, he overcame a childhood of poverty to not only help anchor the Doomsday Defense of the 1970s, but perhaps become the most underrated player in Cowboys history.

In honor of the 25th year anniversary of the Super Bowl 27, relive the beginning of the 90's Cowboys dynasty when the players got together for a reunion.
