Cowboys Feature Five in PFN's Top 100 Despite Playoff Absence

Despite failing to reach the postseason this past NFL season, the Dallas Cowboys have landed five of their players on Pro Football Network's prestigious Top 100 list for the upcoming 2026 season.
The Dallas Cowboys, even after a season that saw them fall short of the playoffs, have demonstrated their individual talent pool with five players earning recognition in Pro Football Network's (PFN) Top 100 rankings for the 2026 NFL season.
Among those honored is Tyler Smith, the team's first-round draft pick from 2022. Smith, a standout guard, has already achieved Pro Bowl status three times in his young career and secured a notable position within the PFN's elite group.
The inclusion of multiple Cowboys, despite the team's recent playoff struggles, underscores the high caliber of talent on the roster. This recognition provides a promising outlook for the team's future, suggesting that individual excellence could be a foundation for future success.
Talent is clearly not the issue in Dallas; it's how that talent translates to team success when it matters most. This list is a testament to individual brilliance but a stark reminder of the Cowboys' ultimate shortcomings.
