Cowboys News: Dallas legends react to Jimmy Johnson, CeeDee Lamb, DaRon Bland

DaRon Bland garners praise from All-Pro cornerbacks
Forget about being the Cowboys' best-kept secret, Bland is no longer one of the NFL's best-kept secrets at the cornerback position.
Bland picked up his fourth pick-six of the season in Sunday's win in Carolina. In doing so, he tied the single-season record and now has seven more games to break the record. You could certainly make the case that Bland has already built an All-Pro resume for the 2023 season and Eagles
Former four-time Pro Bowl corner Chris Harris Jr. acknowledged as much on social media after Bland's latest pick-six. Harris' tweet even prompted a response from Eagles star defensive back Darius Slay, which tells you all you need to know about the season Bland is putting together.
Four pick-sixes alone should be enough for Bland to get (first-team) All-Pro consideration, but he has the coverage numbers to back it up, too.
Per Pro Football Focus, Bland is the only CB who's played at least 500 snaps but has allowed less than a 48% completion rate when targeted.
What say you, Cowboys fans? Will Bland break the record?
