With Laurent Robinson joining the Dallas Cowboys, he proved himself as he substituted for starter Miles Austin during the stars hamstring injury. After Austin came back, Robinson impressed the Cowboys enough to keep him on the roster, which was great since Austin went down again weeks later. With Robinson's performance, here is a look at reserve receivers from past Dallas teams that came through big as well.
Kelvin Martin
In the days of the early '90s Cowboys teams, there was Michael Irvin and Jay Novacek and then there was everyone else. The No. 2 man through most of that time is Alvin Harper. However, one receiver who made his name as a fan favorite during this time was Kelvin Martin. K-Mart played for the Cowboys from 1987-1992 and won a Super Bowl with the Cowboys as one of the most valuable third receivers in the nation. He caught 237 receptions for 3,083 yards and nine touchdowns over his career in Dallas.
Patrick Crayton joined the Cowboys in the 2004 season and played there until moving on to San Diego in 2009. During his time in Dallas, he backed up Terrell Owens and made his name as a solid third option in the Cowboys' offense during his time there. He finished his career in Dallas with 196 receptions for 2,888 yards and 23 touchdowns, with his best season coming in 2007 (50 receptions, 697 yards, seven touchdowns). Despite his strong play, he couldn't earn the starting job when Owens left the team.
Butch Johnson
In the '70s, the main receivers for the Dallas Cowboys were Drew Pearson and Tony Hill, with Pearson the starter until giving way to the younger, more explosive Hill in the early '80s. However, Butch Johnson was an integral part of the offense during that time as well. Johnson played for Dallas from 1976-1983 and caught 132 receptions for 2,124 yards and 19 touchdowns in his time there. Over his career at Dallas, he became the second best punt returner for the Cowboys and caught touchdown passes in back-to-back Super Bowls.
While Kelvin Martin was the big name in the first '90s Super Bowl win, it was Kevin Williams who took his place from 1993-1996. A second round draft choice from Miami, he played on the other two Super Bowl squads as the third receiver on the team. He finished his Cowboys career with 98 receptions for 1,268 yards and five touchdowns.
