Charles Tapper, Defensive End

Tapper is another player we really did not get to see a lot of thanks to an injury his rookie season.

He was brought on to be a productive and shifty pass rusher and now that he is finally healthy, he can look to do just that.

He is excited and ready to become a big part of the Cowboys pass rush and could become one of the most reliable players on the roster.

His emphasis this offseason has been on conditioning and knows that the best pass rushers are constantly on the field.

Tapper knows he has an opportunity to showcase his skills for the first time on the NFL stage and he could not be more excited for it.

He has slimmed down and polished his pass rushing techniques that should allow him to stand out during training camp.

Tapper could fight for some serious playing time as training camp progresses.

In recent memory, there has never been as much competition at the defensive end position as there has been this season.

Tapper should get ample opportunities to prove that he should play significant minutes.
