Honorable Mentions:

Ron’Dell Carter, DL – Carter continued his impressive training camp with a nice game against the Cardinals. He recorded two solo tackles, one sack, and three quarterback hits. Carter is making a strong push to be on the final 53.

Keanu Neal, LB – The first year Cowboy only played a series or two in the game but his impact was felt. He forced and recovered a fumble of Arizona’s tight end, Maxx Williams. Ultimately setting the Cowboys offense up with great field position.

Nahshon Wright, CB – The third-round pick continues to turn heads, and prove a lot of doubters wrong. He had another very good game in coverage, including one pass defensed. Also, his tackling was on display making a stop on special teams.

Getting stops has been difficult for Dallas Cowboys’ defenses in recent years. But, I think the coaches and players are in place to hopefully shock a lot of people with their performance in 2021.
