In 1998, the Dallas Cowboys played a significant role creating one of the biggest draft steals in NFL history. And one of the biggest regrets in franchise history. Despite having a significant need at the position and the eighth overall selection, the Cowboys, along with 18 other NFL franchises, passed on Marshall wide recevier Randy Moss due to character concerns. The controversial player was selected by the Minnesota Vikings 21st overall.
Moss went on to catch a rookie-record 17 touchdown receptions that year, be named to the Pro Bowl and be given the NFL’s Offensive Rookie of the Year award.
