This post is part of the 1992 Season in Review series, marking the 25th anniversary of the Cowboys’ Super Bowl championship season.
The 1988 draft—the last one conducted while Tom Landry was head coach and Tex Schramm was general manager and president—proved to be significant thanks to the selection of Michael Irvin in the first round and linebacker Ken Norton in the second.
Most of the other picks did not amount to much, but the eleventh round selection of Chad Hennings proved to be helpful.
Hennings played for Air Force and won the Outland Trophy as the best interior lineman in colleget football.
