Dez Bryant ranks sixth with 7,459 receiving yards. [1] He leads team history in receiving touchdowns with 73. [1]
Bob Hayes ranks seventh with 7,295 receiving yards, and his speed changed how defenses played against the NFL. [1] His 20.0 yard average per catch is still the highest in Cowboys history among qualified receivers. [1]
