How many Pro Bowlers do you think the Cowboys will have this season?
A few days ago we published the first part of our series on Cowboys ‘blue-chip’ players. Here is a refresher on what constitutes a blue-chip talent. The bare minimum should be an All-Pro level talent. Pro Bowls have become more subjective to the point where the bar to get in has been lowered. All-Pro nominations are harder to come by, considering there is usually one player picked for each position outside of wide receiver, the defensive line, and the secondary.
Outside of being considered a first- or second-team All-Pro, a blue-chip player needs to be someone a team builds around and is a cornerstone player for the franchise. They should also be in the conversation to be the best at their position. Those attributes must be a package deal; you should not have one without the other.
For part two of this series, we will examine which Dallas Cowboys players could become blue-chip players in 2025. The names in this category are just outside the team’s premier talent.
