Top 10 Dallas Cowboys Players of the 2017-2018 Season
How 'bout them Cowboys! Jerry Jones must look back fondly on that 2017-2018 Cowboys team.
America's Team had big expectations to make it to the playoffs that year, but maintaining strong performances is always a tough task.

Zack Martin
Zachary Edward Martin is an American football offensive guard for the Dallas Cowboys in the National Football League. He was drafted by the Cowboys in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft. Martin has earned multiple Pro Bowl selections and is considered one of the top offensive linemen in the league... read more
The best guard, arguably in the league today, is Zack Martin. In every play I've seen from Dallas, it's clear that nobody can outmaneuver him. Even some of the greatest defensive linemen have a hard time getting past Martin.

Tyron Smith
Yes, the top three are arguably the most important keys to Dallas's success, and they don't get the credit they deserve. This great wall was built impressively, making any quarterback look good in that system.

Travis Frederick
Travis Frederick, born on March 18, 1991, is a former American football center who played his entire professional career with the Dallas Cowboys in the NFL. He was a first-round draft pick in 2013 and earned five Pro Bowl selections. Frederick retired in March 2020 at age 29 after being diagnosed with... read more
One of the best centers in the league, a little overlooked, is a big part of the great wall of Dallas.

Dak Prescott
Rayne Dakota "Dak" Prescott, born July 29, 1993, is an American football quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys of the National Football League. He played college football at Mississippi State, where he set several school records. Prescott has been the Cowboys' starting quarterback since 2016.
Dak is the real deal, and I'm proud that they finally moved on from the dead weight that was Tony Romo. They realized he was getting too old and kept getting injured, so the right thing to do was pass the torch to a younger, and probably better, quarterback for the future of Dallas: Mr. Prescott.

Sean Lee
Sean Lee seems to have problems staying healthy, but when he's on the field, he at least makes an effort, even if bruised up a bit. When DeMarcus Ware left, he pretty much took control of that defense from there on out.
-
Ezekiel Elliott
Ezekiel Elijah Elliott is an American football running back currently playing for the New England Patriots in the National Football League. He played college football at Ohio State University, where he earned second-team All-America honors in 2015. Elliott was drafted fourth overall by the Dallas Cowboys... read more
Zeke is looking like the next great running back of today. However, something tells me this is the one year he might not be what he was in his rookie season. The fact that he has to miss six games due to an abuse case raises more questions about whether he could play at all. Next thing you know, he might put up a ton of yards, but not nearly as many as he did in his rookie season, which was unreal.
He performed better in 2018 than in 2019. I don't know how he was stopped so easily in 2019.
-
Dan Bailey
He is literally the most accurate kicker in the NFL. I mean, aside from last year, he is one heck of a kicker that Dallas found at just the right time to replace Nick Folk.
-
Jaylon Smith
This guy could be a huge difference-maker for this defense in the long term. It was very risky picking a guy with a scary injury that prevented him from playing his first year. Now, in year two, Dallas shocked us all when they made it to the playoffs with two rookies, something we haven't seen since the '90s when Troy Aikman and Emmitt Smith came into town. Could Jaylon Smith be the DeMarcus Ware they once had?
-
Dez Bryant
Desmond Demond "Dez" Bryant, born November 4, 1988, is a former American professional football wide receiver. He played for the Dallas Cowboys in the National Football League, where he spent eight seasons from 2010 to 2017. Bryant was known for his physical playing style and was selected to three Pro... read more
Despite being labeled a hater of this wide receiver, Dez can make plays when he doesn't have an attitude-tantrum meltdown. As you can see, this is accurately presented in the picture to the left. Accept it.
-
Taco Charlton
Well, he has a cool-sounding name at least. Coming from what is arguably the greatest college program in NCAA history, I see him working out well in Dallas. They need somebody up front to eventually lead this young defense into becoming a potential Super Bowl-contending team.

Cole Beasley

Jason Witten
Christopher Jason Witten, born May 6, 1982, is a former professional American football tight end. He played 16 seasons with the Dallas Cowboys and one season with the Las Vegas Raiders in the National Football League... read more
