No. He was never played a down for a Dallas Cowboy Team nor has he ever been on a Dallas Cowboy Team Roster.
Yes. There was a Sim Stokes that played in 3 games, as a kick returner, for the Cowboys in 1967.
No, but it was the original car window sticker-Cowboy player with football tucked under his arm riding a pony. I think they also may have had the Cowboy on horseback on the back of the capes the wore on the bench in the 1960's during cold weather games.
No. === Correct; in fact, according to the official Dallas Cowboys Media Guide, no one by that name has EVER been on an active roster for the Cowboys. If you know someone who claims to be a former Cowboy, call his bluff and ask him for proof! Don't be surprised if he can't produce any (and no, claiming that he "tried out" for the team does not make him an ex-Cowboy!).
There is no record of anyone by that name ever playing for the Cowboys; the 2008 official Dallas Cowboys media guide does not include him on the all-time roster.
No, Collinsworth spent his entire career (1981-1988) with the Cincinnati Bengals.
Yes he received his letter to report to camp in 1978, but was hurt in summer practice.
Yes! He played in one preseason game in 1975 against the Oakland Raiders
Bob Hayes
It already passed. It was on February 13th, 2010 at the Dallas Cowboy's stadium. Nate Robinson won, becoming the first player ever to win three slam-dunk contests.
