Chris Boniol is the first kicker to make the list of best players to wear their respective number for the Cowboys. Boniol spent the first three years of his six-year career in Dallas.

During his time with the Cowboys, Boniol never had a season with a field goal percentage under 75%. In 1995, Boniol had a career-best 96.4% field goal percentage. 1995 would also be the year that Boniol would be a part of the Super Bowl XXX-winning Cowboys.

One of those boots will always belong to Chris Boniol.
