He almost single-handedly won three Super Bowls for Dallas in the ‘90s.

That's what happens when you replace a Georgia Bulldog running back, with a Florida Gator running back.

That’s a tough one for me - as a Florida State graduate who is a lifelong Cowboys fan. I have immense respect for Emmitt Smith and what he did in Dallas. I do wish I could have seen Herschel Walker run behind that ‘93, ‘94, and ‘96 championship offensive line, but (as I alluded to in my comment) that line probably wouldn’t have existed but for the blockbuster trade-of-all-trades that sent Walker to Minnesota. That trade involved 18 players directly, and I think I read one time that a total of something like 50 players or so wore a Dallas uniform at one point or another as a direct or indirect result of that trade.

Emmitt Smith himself was a direct result of the trade, as Dallas used Minnesota’s 1st round pick in 1990 to trade up a few spots to take Smith.
