5 Dallas Cowboys stars you may have forgot won a Super Bowl during the 1990s dynasty

#3 - Jay Novacek

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jay Novacek

Jay Novacek played just six seasons with the Cowboys, but proved himself to be one of the best tight ends in the NFL during his stint with the team. Though he played in the shadow of Michael Irvin, he made the Pro Bowl in five consecutive seasons while earning two All-Pro selections. The tight end was also a member of all three Super Bowl teams during their dynasty.

Novacek played in five postseasons for the Cowboys, accumulating 62 receptions for 645 receiving yards and six touchdowns. He elevated his game in three Super Bowl appearances, combining for 17 receptions for 148 receiving yards and two touchdowns, proving to be a reliable target for Aikman.

#2 - Ken Norton Jr.

Ken Norton Jr. is the only player in NFL history to win a Super Bowl ring in three consecutive seasons. He was with the Cowboys for their two consecutive championships during the 1992 and 1993 seasons before joining the San Francisco 49ers for another one in the 1994 season.

Norton was incredibly important during the Dallas Cowboys’ run through the 1992 NFL playoffs. Across three victories, he recorded an interception and recovered two fumbles, including one that he returned for a touchdown during the Super Bowl against the Buffalo Bills.

#1 - Alvin Harper

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Alvin Harper

Alvin Harper was another receiver who had to play second fiddle to the spectacle that was Michael Irvin. The wideout played with the Cowboys for four consecutive seasons and won a Super Bowl ring in two of them. He exceeded 550 receiving yards during three of those seasons, while performing extensively during the postseason.

While Harper averaged just 34 yards per game during his regular-season career, he nearly doubled that to 66 yards per game during his postseason career. He also recorded four postseason touchdowns, including one in the Super Bowl.
