April 23rd, 2025 officially marks 20 years since April 23rd, 2005. Something significant about this day in 2005 is that it is the day in which the Dallas Cowboys took a serious step forward after being in the wilderness for a decade (we thought that was rough!).
If you are still confused, the 2005 NFL Draft took place 20 years ago today, and during it the Cowboys came away with DeMarcus Ware and Marcus Spears in the first round. Bill Parcells now had two cornerstones to build the defense around, a group that would help the team start to turn the tide over the next half decade.
