2. Starting Cornerback Opposite Trevon Diggs

Anthony Brown vs. Kelvin Joseph vs. Nahshon Wright

Anthony Brown did a good job playing on the outside last season with Trevon Diggs, but he’s more of a slot cornerback and it would be great if the Cowboys were able to move him back to his natural position.

This then would allow the Cowboys to move either Kelvin Joseph or Nahshon Wright into the spot opposite Diggs. Both showed a lot of promise last season but Joseph was nagged by a groin injury that kept him out most of the season and Wright just couldn’t beat out Brown at the time. Now, with both having a season under their belts, this is going to be a good competition between the two and one that could help solidify the Dallas secondary.

We still have to see if anything will happen with Joseph regarding his off-the-field situation but until then we should see them battling all of camp. The only way that Brown should keep his spot on the outside is if neither of the other CBs able to show improvement, which would leave the Cowboys with no other option than to give Brown that spot again.
