Roger Staubach is one of two Dallas Cowboys quarterbacks in the College Football and Pro Football Hall of Fame.

He was the original signal-caller of "America's Team". He led Dallas to victories at Super Bowls VI and XII (Only one of two Heisman winners to win multiple Super Bowls), was a one-time Super Bowl MVP, and was a six-time Pro Bowl selection.

With the Midshipmen, he won the Heisman Trophy and Maxwell award (both in 1963). He also received Unanimous All-American honors (1963), was a two-time first team All-East selection (1963,1964) and a one-time second-team All-East selection (1962)

Running back Tony Dorsett had a great year in 1976 with Pitt. He not only won the Heisman Trophy that year but also the national championship, the Maxwell award and Walter Camp award and was named an Unanimous All-American. He was also a four-time first-team All-East selection (1973-1976).

It was a busy couple of years for Dorsett because his most successful NFL season was his rookie year. In 1977, he won Super Bowl XII and was named the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year (he was also an All-Rookie selection).

He would go on to have a Pro Football Hall of Fame-worthy career, being a four-time Pro Bowl Selection (1978, 1981-1983), a one-time first-team All-Pro (1981), and a two-time second-team All-Pro (1982, 1983).

In the 2009 season, he won the Super Bowl XLIV with the Saints. The rest of his NFL resume is rather thin compared to the others on this list.

Bush was an All-Rookie Team selection in 2006 and a first-team All-Pro selection in 2008. In 2011 he left New Orleans but never managed the same heights again in the second half of his career. But he was named to the All-Rookie Team in 2006 and to the first-team All-Pro team.
