Congratulations to Jennifer Kathryne (pictured above) for her selection to the 2017 Pro Bowl (2016 season). Reading about Jennifer’s accomplishment got me to thinking about all of the DCCs before her who were also honored to represent the squad in the NFL’s version of an All-Star game. Since the league started inviting cheerleaders to the game (one from each team selected by her peers) in 1993, the Cowboys have been represented every year. Here is a history of DCCs in the Pro Bowl by the numbers. Since most of them were surely Group Leaders as well as Show Group Members, we will look at several other categories, some trivial, some based on merit.
This info is based on data I’ve collected and is by no means completely foolproof. If anyone sees an error or an omission, please contact me at weeklydcc@live.com.
