Who’s the greatest Dallas Cowboys player of all time? Jerry Jones answered that very question during a radio hit on 105.3 The FAN on Friday.

According to Jones, quarterback Roger Staubach is his pick. Jones cited the two-time Super Bowl champion’s impact on the franchise, both on and off the field, as the reason why, per Joseph Hoyt of the Dallas Morning News.

There aren’t many fans who will argue Jones’ selection. While players like Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith, Michael Irvin and Bob Lily have a case, Staubach helped transform the franchise. That much isn’t lost on their owner.

In his career, Staubach led Dallas to two Super Bowl wins, while passing for 22,700 yards, 153 touchdowns and being elected to both the Pro Football and College Football Hall of Fame. The 83-year-old has remained an icon for the Cowboys.

Moving forward, Cowboys fans are hoping maybe Dak Prescott or another current Dallas star can contend with Staubach’s title. That part remains to be seen, but Jones is giving them every shot to get there.
