[tps_title]4. Brock Marion, S, 1993[/tps_title]
Marion was a rookie for the Cowboys’ second Super Bowl win in the 90s, playing backup safety and on special teams. He was one of the top performers on special teams his first two seasons.
Brock became the starting free safety in 1995 after James Washington joined the Redskins in free agency. He had 114 tackles and six interceptions that year, emerging as a standout player as the Cowboys went on to win Super Bowl XXX.
While an injury cost him six games in 1996, Marion continued to be a solid starter for the next two seasons in Dallas.
One of his signature games came in 1997 when Brock recorded 19 tackles, one of the highest single-game marks in team history, in a loss to the Packers.
In 1998, Marion left as a free agent to rejoin Jimmy Johnson in Miami. Not only did he blossom as one of the league’s top safeties, going to three Pro Bowls beginning in 2000, but he also was a standout kick returner for the Dolphins.
Brock would also play a single year as a starter safety for the Lions in 2004 after Miami cut him to clear salary cap space.
While his personal best years were in Miami, Brock Marion was one of the best players the Cowboys ever selected in the Seventh Round. He gave Dallas three excellent seasons as a starter and won two Super Bowls.
Guess I’m not as familiar with Leon Lett’s time cause I wouldn’t have assumed He’d be above Ratliff.
He wasn’t. Lett was 5th, Ratliff was 3rd.
I like Aaron Parker from Rhode Island for round 7. He would give better rotational depth at WR. If I’m Dallas I would honestly get him and get his teammate WR in the 5th also. Dallas would get 2 WR’S in this draft I think both of them would be steals.
Get Isaiah Culter and Aaron Parker as a WR from Rhode Island. I think they would be awesome in Dallas and be steals in the mid-later rounds.
The name alone, Bullet Bob, says it all. Hayes changed the game and was a true home run hitter every time he touched the ball. He is the best seventh rounder! And as the article mentioned, he was a great returner. He brought an excitement to the game that very few others could match. He was one of the players that kept the Cowboys a very popular team, with a rich, great history.
Cowboys are America’s Team! And hopefully with the FAs and the right draft picks, they can compete for another Championship. Dak better take his big head out of his a$$, and get on board. If not, hopefully the front office has a plan B.
“Mike Hegman was a backup linebacker and special teams player for his first four seasons. He helped the Cowboys win Super Bowl XIII in a big way, returning a Terry Bradshaw fumble for a touchdown.”
The Cowboys didn’t win Super Bowl XIII. The Steelers did.
