Dallas Cowboys: Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith, Roger Staubach, Bob Lilly

Just Missed Cut: Michael Irvin

This selection for the Cowboys was tough to pick the top four after Emmitt Smith and Troy Aikman. I had three left to choose from my list. I went with Roger Staubach, and Bob Lilly over Michael Irvin. Michael Irvin was a big part of the three Super Bowl wins, but the way Emmitt Smith and Troy Aikman took over those games were the same way Bob Lilly and Roger Staubach took over their games.

Denver Broncos: John Elway, Terell Davis, Von Miller, Champ Bailey

Just Missed Cut: Shannon Sharpe

All four Denver Broncos players were not just an integral part of the Broncos teams that won the Super Bowls, but they were players who changed the way their position played today. They are on the list because of their accomplishments with the Broncos, but also how they changed the NFL for the better.

Detroit Lions: Calvin Johnson, Barry Sanders, Dick LeBeau, Bobby Layne

Just Missed Cut: Matthew Stafford

Surefire Hall of Famer Calvin Johnson redefined the jump ball catch in the NFL. Many times the quarterback would launch the ball in the air, and Calvin Johnson known as Megatron would grab the ball no matter where it was. He joins one of the greatest players ever to play the game in Barry Sanders who accomplished so much in so little time when he retired in his prime playing days. Dick LeBeau is probably was one of the most feared cornerbacks in his playing days and was perhaps considered Detroit's best secondary player of all time. Bobby Layne is maybe the best quarterback in Detroit history, but there is a guy named Matthew Stafford that might make it there in a few years.

Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers

Green Bay Packers: Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers, Reggie White, Bart Starr

Just Missed Cut: Ray Nitschke

The Green Bay Packers started Super Bowl 1 and 2 with a great quarterback named Bart Starr. Starr was the best quarterback in NFL history and of course Packers history. Until came the gunslinger Brett Favre who won a Super Bowl broke many passing records in the NFL along the way and is also a Hall of Famer. Then after Brett Favre they had an encore with another quarterback who is still playing, has won a Super Bowl, earned the MVP in the NFL, future Hall of Famer, and is also trying to surpass all those records Favre had set. The one I am talking about is Aaron Rodgers. To end the foursome why not add the guy preacher who loved football with all his might and came to Green Bay when most players of his status wouldn't. Mr Reggie White.
