Since they were deemed America\u2019s Team in the 1970s, the Cowboys have had both a national following and a universal hatred. This franchise has won five Super Bowl titles (tied for second all time) \u2026 two in the 70s and three in the 90s. It seems like the men with the star on their helmets constantly get the media spotlight. One way or the other, there is no lack of passion with NFL fans when it comes to the Cowboys. This team has packed a ton of players and coaches in Canton. Some of their most memorable names are the signal-callers. Quite a few notable QBs have played in Big D, so choosing some of the top men under center for this franchise wasn\u2019t an easy task. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/teams\/dal\/\">Without any more delay, here are the top quarterbacks in Dallas Cowboys history<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<div id=\"info\" class=\"players open\">\n\t<div id=\"meta\">\n\t\n\n<div class=\"media-item\"><img decoding=\"async\" itemscope=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/req\/20230307\/images\/headshots\/PresDa01_2025.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of Dak Prescott\">\n<\/div><!-- div.media-item --><div>\n\t<h2>\n\t\t<span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/P\/PresDa01.htm\">Dak Prescott<\/a><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\n\n  \n  \n\n\n\n  \n<p>\n  <strong>\n    Rayne Dakota Prescott\n    &nbsp;(<span>The Fortress<\/span>)\n  <\/strong>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\t<strong>Position<\/strong>: QB\n\t\t\t<strong>Throws:<\/strong>\n\t\tRight\n\t\n<\/p>\n\n<p><span>6-2<\/span>,&nbsp;<span>238lb<\/span>&nbsp;(188cm,&nbsp;107kg) <\/p>\n<p><strong>Team<\/strong>: <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/teams\/dal\/2025.htm\">Dallas Cowboys<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n<p>\n  <strong>Born:<\/strong> \n    <span\" id=\"necro-birth\" data-birth=\"1993-07-29\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/friv\/birthdays.cgi?month=7&amp;day=29\">July 29<\/a>,&nbsp;1993\n    \n  <span>\n    in&nbsp;Sulphur,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/friv\/birthplaces.cgi?country=USA&amp;state=LA\">LA<\/a><\/span>\n  \n<\/span\"> <span><nobr>(Age:&nbsp;32-175d)<\/nobr><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>College<\/strong>: \n  \n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/schools\/mississippist\/\">Mississippi St.<\/a>\n\t\n\t\n\t\t&nbsp;(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sports-reference.com\/cfb\/players\/dak-prescott-1.html\">College Stats<\/a>)\n\t\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/p><p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/about\/approximate_value.htm\">Weighted Career AV (100-95-&#8230;)<\/a>:<\/strong> 104 (112th overall since 1960)\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>High School<\/strong>: \n  \n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/schools\/high_schools.cgi?id=93b8d1f7\">Haughton<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/schools\/high_schools.cgi?hs_state=LA\">LA<\/a>)\n\t\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Draft<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/teams\/dal\/2016_draft.htm\">Dallas Cowboys<\/a> in the 4th round (135th overall) of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/years\/2016\/draft.htm\">2016 NFL Draft<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Instagram:<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/_4dak\">_4dak<\/a>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div><!-- div#meta -->\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\n<ul id=\"bling\">\n\n<li class=\"all_star\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/probowl\/\">4x Pro Bowl<\/a><\/li><li class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/awards\/\">2016 AP Off.

The big playoff wins may be lacking, but his numbers don\u2019t lie. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/teams\/dal\/career-passing.htm\">His 35,989 passing yards are already first in team history<\/a>, and he is only 32 years old. Since he entered the league, the Cowboys have been a yearly Super Bowl candidate. His record as a starter is 83-55-1. In 2025, he another typical Dak season: 4,552 passing yards, 30 TD tosses to 10 INTs, and a 67.3 completion rate. Although he was injured most of the 2024 season, in 2023 #4 led the NFL in TD passes (36); he has 243 in his young career (second in franchise history). Prescott\u2019s most impressive stat may be his touchdown to interception ratio (243 to 92). This Mississippi State product is a great combination of efficient passer (66.9 career completion %)\u00a0and effective scrambler. His 31 career rushing TDs and 169 career rushing first downs show he can get to the pylons and the sticks. As a slinger, three times he has had a passer rating of 104.2 or better. The national media and Dallas fans justifiably point to Dak\u2019s 2-5 record in the playoffs as a measuring stick, but there is no denying this guy\u2019s production and ability to win regular-season games. Dak Prescott already deserves a place with the best quarterbacks in Dallas history, and if he adds a few Lombardi Trophies, he may be the greatest Cowboy ever in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"info\" class=\"players open\">\n\t<div id=\"meta\">\n\t\n\n<div class=\"nothumb\">\n\t<h2>\n\t\t<span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/W\/WhitDa01.htm\">Danny White<\/a><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\n\n\n\n  \n<p>\n  <strong>\n    Wilford Daniel White\n    \n  <\/strong>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\t<strong>Position<\/strong>: QB-P\n\t\t\t<strong>Throws:<\/strong>\n\t\tRight\n\t\n<\/p>\n\n<p><span>6-2<\/span>,&nbsp;<span>193lb<\/span>&nbsp;(188cm,&nbsp;87kg) <\/p>\n\n\n<p>\n  <strong>Born:<\/strong> \n    <span>\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/friv\/birthdays.cgi?month=2&amp;day=9\">February 9<\/a>,&nbsp;1952\n    \n  <span>\n    in&nbsp;Mesa,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/friv\/birthplaces.cgi?country=USA&amp;state=AZ\">AZ<\/a><\/span>\n  \n<\/span> <span>(Age:&nbsp;72-142d)<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>College<\/strong>: \n  \n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/schools\/arizonast\/\">Arizona St.<\/a>\n\t\n\t\n\t\t&nbsp;(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sports-reference.com\/cfb\/players\/danny-white-1.html\">College Stats<\/a>)\n\t\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/p><p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/about\/approximate_value.htm\">Weighted Career AV (100-95-&#8230;)<\/a>:<\/strong> 86 (325th overall since 1960)\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>High School<\/strong>: \n  \n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/schools\/high_schools.cgi?id=93be63e2\">Westwood<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/schools\/high_schools.cgi?hs_state=AZ\">AZ<\/a>)\n\t\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Draft<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/teams\/dal\/1974_draft.htm\">Dallas Cowboys<\/a> in the 3rd round (53rd overall) of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/years\/1974\/draft.htm\">1974 NFL Draft<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n<p><\/p>\n\n    \n\n\n<p><strong>Relatives<\/strong>: Father&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/W\/WhitWi21.htm\">Wilford&nbsp;White<\/a>; Nephew&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/H\/HallMa00.htm\">Max&nbsp;Hall<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div><!-- div#meta -->\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\n<ul id=\"bling\">\n\n<li class=\"all_star\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/probowl\/\">1x Pro Bowl<\/a><\/li><li class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/super-bowl\/\">1x SB Champ<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\n\n\t\n\n\n\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"stats_pullout\">\n<div><div>\n<span><strong>SUMMARY<\/strong><\/span>\n\n<p><strong>Career<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"p1\">\n<div class=\"p1\">\n<span class=\"poptip\"><strong>G<\/strong><\/span>\n<p>166<\/p><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"p1\">\n<span class=\"poptip\"><strong>AV<\/strong><\/span>\n<p>104<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"p1\">\n<div class=\"p2\">\n<span class=\"poptip\"><strong>QBrec<\/strong><\/span>\n<p>62-30-0<\/p><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"p1\">\n<span class=\"poptip\"><strong>Cmp%<\/strong><\/span>\n<p>59.7<\/p><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"p1\">\n<span class=\"poptip\"><strong>Yds<\/strong><\/span>\n<p>21959<\/p><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"p2\">\n<span class=\"poptip\"><strong>Y\/A<\/strong><\/span>\n<p>7.4<\/p><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"p1\">\n<span class=\"poptip\"><strong>TD<\/strong><\/span>\n<p>155<\/p><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"p2\">\n<span class=\"poptip\"><strong>Int<\/strong><\/span>\n<p>132<\/p><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"p2\">\n<span class=\"poptip\"><strong>FantPt<\/strong><\/span>\n<p>1276.5<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re the QB between Staubach and Aikman in Dallas Cowboys history, you may get overlooked at times, but that doesn\u2019t mean you couldn\u2019t sling it. In the 80s, Danny White had a 62-30 record as the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys, and he got them to three straight <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/boxscores\/198101110phi.htm\">NFC<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/boxscores\/198201100sfo.htm\">Championship<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/boxscores\/198301220was.htm\">Games<\/a>. The Cowboys won a lot of games with White under center, but they never won the big one with him as the starter; he was the backup on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/boxscores\/197801150dal.htm\">Super Bowl XII<\/a> title team. White did throw for almost 22,000 yards and 155 TDs in Dallas. His best season was probably the strike-shortened 1982 campaign when he finished <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/awards\/awards_1982.htm\">fifth in MVP voting<\/a> and had 16 touchdown passes with a career-best 63.2% completion rate. In four different seasons, he threw for over 3,000 yards and more than 20 TDs. Looking back, he was the bridge between two championship eras for America\u2019s Team. Danny\u2019s Achilles heel was his penchant for interceptions (132 as a Cowboy). Danny White might not be a Hall of Famer, but he was one of the best quarterbacks the Dallas Cowboys ever had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"info\" class=\"players open\">\n\t<div id=\"meta\">\n\t\n\n<div class=\"media-item\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/req\/20230307\/images\/headshots\/RomoTo00_2019.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of Tony Romo\">\n<\/div><!-- div.media-item --><div>\n\t<h2>\n\t\t<span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/R\/RomoTo00.htm\">Tony Romo<\/a><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\n\n\n\n  \n<p>\n  <strong>\n    Antonio Ramiro Romo\n    \n  <\/strong>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\t<strong>Position<\/strong>: QB\n\t\t\t<strong>Throws:<\/strong>\n\t\tRight\n\t\n<\/p>\n\n<p><span>6-2<\/span>,&nbsp;<span>230lb<\/span>&nbsp;(188cm,&nbsp;104kg) <\/p>\n\n\n<p>\n  <strong>Born:<\/strong> \n    <span>\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/friv\/birthdays.cgi?month=4&amp;day=21\">April 21<\/a>,&nbsp;1980\n    \n  <span>\n    in&nbsp;San Diego,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/friv\/birthplaces.cgi?country=USA&amp;state=CA\">CA<\/a><\/span>\n  \n<\/span> <span>(Age:&nbsp;44-070d)<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>College<\/strong>: \n  \n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/schools\/eastillinois\/\">Eastern Illinois<\/a>\n\t\n\t\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/p><p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/about\/approximate_value.htm\">Weighted Career AV (100-95-&#8230;)<\/a>:<\/strong> 95 (203rd overall since 1960)\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>High School<\/strong>: \n  \n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/schools\/high_schools.cgi?id=93bfc2e5\">Burlington<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/schools\/high_schools.cgi?hs_state=WI\">WI<\/a>)\n\t\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n  <p><strong>Instagram:<\/strong>\n    <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/tony.romo\">tony.romo<\/a><\/p>\n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div><!-- div#meta -->\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\n<ul id=\"bling\">\n\n<li class=\"all_star\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/probowl\/\">4x Pro Bowl<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\n\n\t\n\n\n\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"stats_pullout\">\n<div><div>\n<span><strong>SUMMARY<\/strong><\/span>\n\n<p><strong>Career<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"p1\">\n<div class=\"p1\">\n<span class=\"poptip\"><strong>G<\/strong><\/span>\n<p>156<\/p><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"p1\">\n<span class=\"poptip\"><strong>AV<\/strong><\/span>\n<p>115<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"p1\">\n<div class=\"p2\">\n<span class=\"poptip\"><strong>QBrec<\/strong><\/span>\n<p>78-49-0<\/p><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"p1\">\n<span class=\"poptip\"><strong>Cmp%<\/strong><\/span>\n<p>65.3<\/p><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"p1\">\n<span class=\"poptip\"><strong>Yds<\/strong><\/span>\n<p>34183<\/p><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"p2\">\n<span class=\"poptip\"><strong>Y\/A<\/strong><\/span>\n<p>7.9<\/p><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"p1\">\n<span class=\"poptip\"><strong>TD<\/strong><\/span>\n<p>248<\/p><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"p2\">\n<span class=\"poptip\"><strong>Int<\/strong><\/span>\n<p>117<\/p><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"p2\">\n<span class=\"poptip\"><strong>FantPt<\/strong><\/span>\n<p>2174.5<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/teams\/dal\/career-passing.htm\">Who was the all-time leader in passing yards (34,183), until recently passed, and still is the passing touchdowns leader (248) for the Dallas Cowboys<\/a>? The answer is the current top CBS Football color analyst: Tony Romo. This Eastern Illinois product holds some major passing records for America\u2019s Team. Like the previous QBs on this list, Romo didn\u2019t have much postseason success, so that is a big part of his legacy. However, he did put up serious numbers for a decade in Dallas: a 78-49 record as a starter, four seasons of 4,000 passing yards or better, seven seasons of 26 TDs or better, 29 game-winning drives, and a career completion % of 65.3. Tony\u2019s premier year was 2014 when he had 34 TDs, only 9 picks, and a league-leading 69.9 completion %. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/awards\/awards_2014.htm\">He was third in the MVP voting<\/a> as the Cowboys had an excruciating <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/boxscores\/201501110gnb.htm\">Divisional Round playoff loss<\/a> in Lambeau on the infamous Dez Bryant goal-line catch or non-catch. #9\u2019s already sterling stats would have been even greater if not for losing a couple seasons to injury. An underrated aspect of the Skechers spokesperson&#8217;s game was his sneaky ability to be elusive in the pocket. His capacity to extend plays with his legs resulted in countless first downs and touchdowns in Big D.

From 1969-1979, Captain Comeback led America\u2019s Team to an 85-29 regular-season record, six NFC Championship Game appearances, four Super Bowl appearances, and two Lombardi Trophies. In a less-aerial era of football, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/leaders\/pass_rating_year_by_year.htm\">Staubach led the league in passer rating four times<\/a> (a career high of 104.8 in 1971) and tossed 23 TDs or more three times. This stately QB from the Naval Academy entered the NFL as a 27-year-old rookie and became a legendary scrambler. His 2,264 career rushing yards and 20 rushing scores made him a menace to the rest of the league. #12 was the MVP of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/boxscores\/197201160dal.htm\">Super Bowl VI<\/a> when he passed for 119 yards, 2 TDs, and had a 115.9 passer rating as the Cowboys dominated the Miami Dolphins 24-3. Then he led them to another Lombardi Trophy in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/boxscores\/197801150dal.htm\">Super Bowl XII<\/a> over the Denver Broncos 27-10. When Roger the Dodger retired after the 1979 season, he held the NFL career mark for passer rating (83.4). <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/teams\/dal\/career-passing.htm\">His 22,700 passing yards and 153 passing touchdowns are both in the Dallas top five of all time<\/a>, and his status as a winner makes him one of the most popular players in franchise history. Roger Staubach was enshrined in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/hof\/1985-ballot.htm\">Canton<\/a>, and he can make a strong case as the top quarterback ever for the Dallas Cowboys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"info\" class=\"players open\">\n\t<div id=\"meta\">\n\t\n\n<div class=\"media-item\"><img

href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/teams\/dal\/career-passing.htm\">Troy Aikman leads Dallas Cowboys quarterbacks in two sort of important categories: regular-season wins (94) and Super Bowl titles (3)<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/years\/1989\/draft.htm\">Aikman was drafted first overall in the 1989 NFL Draft<\/a> and had to endure a painful 1-15 rookie year before he was able to reach the mountain top a few years later. In team history, #8 sits high on every list: 32,942 passing yards (third), 165 passing touchdowns (third), 2,898 completions (second), and 15 4th-quarter comebacks (third). The Cowboys were football\u2019s team of the 90s, and this QB helped them to wins at Super Bowl <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/boxscores\/199301310buf.htm\">XXVII<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/boxscores\/199401300buf.htm\">XXVIII<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/boxscores\/199601280dal.htm\">XXX<\/a>. Troy was the MVP of Super Bowl XXVII when the Boys buried the Bills 52-17. His numbers were exquisite: a passer rating of 140.7, a 73.3 completion %, 4 touchdowns, and 273 passing yards. In 1993, this UCLA alum led the NFL with a 69.1 completion % for the season. Surprisingly, Aikman only threw for 20 or more touchdowns once in a season, but that\u2019s what happens when you have the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/S\/SmitEm00.htm\">NFL\u2019s all-time leading rusher<\/a> in your backfield. Injuries cut his career a bit short, but Troy was doubtlessly enshrined in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/hof\/2006-ballot.htm\">Hall of Fame<\/a>. Troy Aikman will be remembered as the signal-caller who won three Lombardi Trophies in Dallas, and that puts him squarely in the conversation as the Cowboys top quarterback ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1719788269547\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Who is the Dallas Cowboys all-time leader in passing yards?<br\/><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Dak Prescott is the all-time leader in passing yards for the Dallas Cowboys with 35,989 yards.<br\/><\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1719788319990\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Has a Dallas Cowboys quarterback ever won the Super Bowl MVP Award?<br\/><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Quarterbacks Roger Staubach and Troy Aikman have each won a Super Bowl MVP Award as a Cowboy.
