5 Dallas Cowboys stars you may have forgot won a Super Bowl during the 1990s dynasty
The Dallas Cowboys from the 1990s decade have been one of the greatest teams ever assembled in NFL history. During a four-year stretch between the 1992 and 1995 NFL seasons, they recorded a 10-1 postseason record while collecting three Super Bowl rings.
The Cowboys roster was loaded with superstars. They featured the legendary "triplets" on offense, quarterback Troy Aikman, running back Emmitt Smith, and wide receiver Michael Irvin. The squad also featured a strong defense that starred Prime Time Deion Sanders and Darren Woodson.
While the roster shone bright with NFL stars, there were also many more huge contributors during their epic run. Names that are usually overlooked when recalling the famous dynasty. Here are five of the unsung heroes of the team who had a crucial impact on their success without receiving as much of the recognition.
#5 - Daryl "Moose" Johnston
While Daryl Johnston's contributions didn't necessarily show up on the stat sheet, he was a crucial part of the Cowboys' success. Moose was the lead blocker for the explosive Emmitt Smith, the NFL's all-time leading rusher, in Jimmy Johnson's Power-I running scheme.
Smith himself has said many times that he owes much of his career success to the Cowboys' incredible offensive line, as well as Moose clearing out the holes for him. Moose was a member of all three Super Bowl teams.
#4 - James Washington
James Washington spent just five seasons with the Cowboys, but won a ring in two of them. While his overall career is relatively unspectacular, he made crucial plays that directly contributed to postseason victories for Dallas.
