From a franchise-record 194 starts to 106 career sacks, the case for Jones as the definitive Cowboys defensive end keeps getting stronger.

Long after his playing days, the Cowboys great remains a sought-after speaker and a generous presence at appearances and charity events across the country.

A half-century after Dallas made him the first overall pick, Ed 'Too Tall' Jones remains the only player from a historically Black university ever chosen number one.

The Cowboys legend who never missed a game in fifteen seasons adds another deserved honor, celebrated for a career that was as durable as it was singular.
