Over the offseason, thousands of fans voted in our "Team For the Ages" contest to construct the best imaginable 50-man roster from the NFL’s modern era, which began in 1967. The votes have been counted, and we’re unveiling one player each weekday between now and the kickoff of the 2018 NFL season.
The entire Team For the Ages roster will be unveiled at "Football Legends LIVE!" Sept. 8 in Crystal Lake, Ill. Tickets are on sale now: https://shawmediaevents.com/e/pfw50
Emmitt Smith
Legacy one-liner
Smith, whom the Cowboys selected 17th overall in 1990 with part of their massive haul from the Herschel Walker trade to replace Hall of Famer Tony Dorsett, played 13 seasons in Dallas, where he became the NFL's all-time leader in rushing yards, attempts and touchdowns and helped the franchise win three Super Bowls.
