5 third-year Cowboys who desperately need to prove themselves
The Dallas Cowboys engage in a continuous talent acquisition process, with roster churning that never ends.

3. Quinton Bohanna
The biggest area of weakness in the Dallas Cowboys defensive front has been a run stuffing nose tackle. When Dallas selected Quinton Bohanna with the 192nd pick of the 2021 NFL Draft, they had hoped he could solve a glaring weakness. That has not been the case and time is running out.
The Cowboys traded for Johnathan Hankins last year and selected Mazi Smith in the first round this year. The writing was on the wall at the end of last season. As Hankins started to emerge late in the season.
The Cowboys' run defense saw a significant improvement with Johnathan Hankins, but not with Quinton Bohanna. Bohanna is not without talent, but his inconsistency and inability to stay low has stopped him from maximizing his ability.
