H EMMITT SMITH H<br />

Running Back, 1990-2002<br />

Emmitt Smith retired as the NFL’s all-time rushing leader with<br />

18,355 yards and scored more rushing touchdowns (164) than<br />

any other player in NFL history. Smith was selected to the Pro Bowl<br />

eight times, won four NFL rushing titles (‘91, ‘92, ‘93 and ‘95),<br />

three Super Bowl titles, and a league (1993) and Super Bowl (XXVI-<br />

II) MVP award. Smith broke Walter Payton’s NFL rushing record at<br />

Texas Stadium on Oct. 27, 2002 on an 11-yard run in the fourth<br />

quarter against the Seattle Seahawks. Smith was inducted into the<br />

Ring of Honor with Troy Aikman and Michael Irvin on Monday Sept.<br />

19, 2005 at halftime of the Cowboys-Redskins game. Smith was<br />

elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2010.<br />

H TEX SCHRAMM H<br />

President and General Manager, 1960-1989<br />

Texas Earnest Schramm Jr., served 29 seasons as president and<br />

general manager of the Cowboys, turning a 1960 expansion team<br />

into one of the most successful franchises in NFL history. Under<br />

Schramm, the team reached five Super Bowls, winning two, made<br />

18 playoff appearances and compiled an NFL-record 20 consecutive<br />

winning seasons. Schramm was instrumental in creating the<br />

Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, developing the Cowboys Ring of Honor and bringing an annual<br />

Cowboys Thanksgiving Day game to the nation. Schramm, as chairman of the NFL Competition<br />

Committee from 1966 to 1988, was a driving force behind the development of instant replay, giving<br />

the head referee a microphone for penalty announcements and developing the wild-card playoff system.<br />

One of Schramm’s most significant accomplishments was coordinating the merger of the NFL<br />

and the American Football League in 1966. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in<br />

1991. Schramm was inducted into the Ring of Honor at halftime of the Cowboys game against<br />

Philadelphia on Oct. 12, 2003.<br />

H RANDY WHITE H<br />

Defensive Tackle, 1975-88<br />

A nine-time Pro Bowler during his 14 years with Dallas, Randy White<br />

established a club-record with eight straight All-Pro selections. White<br />

was co-MVP (with teammate Harvey Martin) in the Cowboys Super<br />

Bowl XII victory over Denver. A consensus All-America defensive end<br />

for Maryland in 1974, White won both the Outland Trophy and the<br />

Vince Lombardi Awards. White was inducted into the Ring of Honor<br />

at halftime of the Cowboys against Arizona on Oct. 9, 1994. White<br />

was also elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1994.<br />

H ROGER STAUBACH H<br />

Quarterback, 1969-79<br />

Roger Staubach led the Cowboys to six NFC Championship<br />

Games, four Super Bowls and two Super Bowl titles. A great clutch<br />

performer, Staubach led Dallas to comeback victories 23 times,<br />

14 in the last two minutes or overtime. A five-time Pro Bowler, he<br />

was drafted by Dallas in 1964 after winning the Heisman Trophy<br />

and Maxwell Award at the Naval Academy. Staubach was inducted<br />

into the Ring of Honor at halftime of the Cowboys against Tampa<br />

Bay, Oct. 9, 1983. Staubach was elected to the Pro Football Hall<br />

of Fame in 1985.<br />
