Football Players who Played for Steelers and Cowboys
There is a good chance that if you’ve found this page then you’re playing the Immaculate Grid.
That also means that today’s grid has asked for players that have played for both the Pittsburgh Steelers and Dallas Cowboys.
And, it also means that you’re probably stuck on this particular box and you’re looking for a little help. Sound about right so far?
Well, good news, you’re in the right place.
I’ve done some research and have found players who played for both the Steelers and the Cowboys.
James Washington
James Washington, a wide receiver out of Oklahoma State, was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft. Known for his impressive deep-threat abilities, Washington was a key contributor to the Steelers’ offense for four seasons.
A fractured foot severely limited his time on the field in his one season with the Cowboys, but considering it was just last year, Washington as a Cowboy will still be fresh in many fans’ minds.

Felix Jones
Felix Jones was a running back who spent the majority of his NFL career with the Dallas Cowboys. Drafted by the Cowboys in the first round of the 2008 NFL Draft, he became known for his speed and agility, which made him a significant offensive threat both as a rusher and receiver.
He played for Dallas for five seasons (2008-2012), during which he accumulated over 2700 rushing yards and 11 rushing touchdowns. He was also effective in the passing game, recording over 1000 receiving yards. He concluded his NFL career with a season at the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2013.
Thomas Everett
Thomas Everett was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 4th round, 94th overall, in the 1987 NFL Draft. A safety known for his exceptional coverage skills and hard-hitting style, Everett played in the NFL for 9 seasons, spending time with the Steelers, Dallas Cowboys, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Everett’s standout season came in 1993 when he was named to the Pro Bowl and had a career-high 97 tackles. He was also an instrumental part of the Dallas Cowboys’ defense during their back-to-back Super Bowl victories in the 1992 & 1993 seasons.
In his career, Everett totaled 21 interceptions and 11 fumble recoveries. His contributions on the field were marked by intelligence, quick reflexes, and the ability to read opposing offenses, making him a key defensive player during his time in the league.
