As the Dallas Cowboys continue to dominate NFL ratings game to game and year to year, it’s easy to forget there have been lean times when the franchise was not front and center in the hearts of all football fans. Love them or hate them, everyone has an opinion about the Cowboys and their large collection of top talent accrued over the last 60 years.

So much so that the NFL decided to create a spot on the Pro Bowl roster for a special teams contributor with Bates being named the first NFC player to earn the selection back in 1984.
Although he also started at safety for three years from 1986-88, Bates was primarily the special teams ace who would fly down the field on kickoffs and punts without much concern for his personal health.
