Dallas, Texas – The NFL world is buzzing after the release of a bold and controversial list of the Top 10 Greatest Dallas Cowboys Players of All Time, and fans everywhere are doing a double-take. While legendary names like Emmitt Smith, Troy Aikman, and Roger Staubach dominate the top, the real shocker comes halfway down the list: CeeDee Lamb has been ranked at #6, just four seasons into his career.
The announcement sent social media into meltdown, with Cowboys Nation split between praise and protest over Lamb’s surprisingly high placement among franchise giants.

-
Emmitt Smith – NFL’s all-time leading rusher. Cowboys icon.

-
Michael Irvin – The heart and fire of the 90s dynasty.

DeMarcus Ware – Sack king and defensive nightmare.

Why Did CeeDee Lamb Rank So High?
CeeDee Lamb’s ranking caught many off guard — but his stats are hard to ignore. Since being drafted in 2020, Lamb has:
-
Posted three consecutive 1,000+ yard seasons
-
Led the NFL in receptions (2023)
-
Broken Cowboys franchise records in single-season catches and receiving yards
-
Earned multiple Pro Bowl nods and First-Team All-Pro honors
Analysts cited his explosive growth, ability to carry the offense, and superstar upside as key reasons for his top-6 placement — even over franchise greats like Witten and DeMarcus Ware.
“Lamb is not just playing great — he’s changing games,” one analyst said. “If he keeps this trajectory, he could finish as the greatest receiver in Cowboys history.”
Fans React: “Already?!” vs “He’s Him!”
Cowboys fans lit up the internet with strong reactions. The hashtag #CeeDeeTop6 quickly began trending on X (formerly Twitter), with fans and pundits taking sides:
“How can you put Lamb ahead of Witten or DeMarcus Ware? That’s insane.” — @CowboysForever88
“He’s earned it. No one was carrying the offense last season but him.” — @DallasDieHard
“Imagine if he had 90s QBs throwing to him. He’d be #1 already.” — @BlueStarBeast
Even former Cowboy Michael Irvin had something to say on live TV:
“I love CeeDee. Love the way he plays. But greatness takes time. You gotta build a legacy. Not just break records — win games that matter.”
Is This the Start of a True Cowboys Legend?
CeeDee Lamb’s place on this list may be controversial now, but few deny his potential. With Dak Prescott’s trust, a high-volume offense, and prime years still ahead, Lamb is poised to continue breaking records — and possibly cement this ranking for real.
Final Word
The Dallas Cowboys are one of the most storied franchises in sports history, with legends across every generation. This latest ranking reminds us that while history is honored, the future is still being written — and CeeDee Lamb’s pen is moving fast.
Is #6 too high? Too soon? Or right on time? One thing’s certain: he’s already in the conversation.
