Dan Bailey tops list of Cowboys’ best special team players

The special teams rarely get any glory on the gridiron. In fact, more often than not, they are only heard about when something goes terribly wrong.

But over the 63 years of Dallas Cowboys‘ history, four players have made their mark when the offense and defense have been on the sidelines.

Mr. Automatic

For the majority of his time in Dallas, Dan Bailey was as close to being automatic as a kicker can be. When his time in Dallas came to an end in 2018 he was the second-most-accurate kicker in NFL history (88.2%). He is still the Cowboys’ leader in field goals made (186), consecutive field goals made (30) and consecutive extra points made (275).
