The stories of undrafted free agents making their mark on the NFL seemed few and far between before starting this countdown. However, Everson Walls is another free-agent talent that left an imprint on the Cowboys franchise. The Grambling State alum spent nine seasons with the Cowboys and made quite a name for himself in that time. During his time in Dallas, Walls made four Pro Bowls and was selected First Team All-Pro in 1983. Walls also has a Super Bowl ring he can brag about. Unfortunately, it came with the New York Giants.

Everson Walls' career with the Cowboys doesn't get talked about enough. With so much emphasis on interceptions today, Walls had 44 in his nine seasons with Dallas, including seasons with 11, 9, and 7. Walls is the leader of the number 24 clubhouse and will be for the foreseeable future.
