Darren Woodson was a second round pick from Arizona State in 1992, and the year after, he was the team's starting Strong Safety.  In those two years, he helped Dallas win the Super Bowl, but he would have a much more significant role in the team moving forward.

Drew Pearson went undrafted in 1973, but he would be signed by the Dallas Cowboys, and the product of the University of Tulsa would make the team.  As a rookie, Pearson had 388 Receiving Yards and was also doing double duty as the Kick Returner, but he would shed the Special Teams role the following season while emerging as one of the game's elite Wide Receivers.

Spending the first decade of his career with the Dallas Cowboys (1965-74), Bob Hayes had a spectacular beginning, where he went to the Pro Bowl in his first three seasons and was a First Team All-Pro in his second and fourth year.  The Split End led the NFL in Touchdown Receptions in his rookie and sophomore year, and in both of those seasons, he went over the 1,000 Yard mark.
