Over the past few years, the Dallas Cowboys scouting department has done an amazing job filling the list to the point that it becomes almost worrisome when a choice doesn’t work. There are a lot of different factors that come into play regarding a player who fits the mold or not, but when things don’t seem to be working out, the players’ personnel department usually gets a big strike against them in terms of rating. of the player. .
But what if it’s not at all? Suppose the evaluation isn’t that bad after all, and it was deficiencies in the coaching staff that were attributed to the player’s lack of success. Is this something we can reflect on? Why not. After all, there have been so many positive things about the coaching staff that Cowboys fans feel more confident that this team is maximizing their potential. And when that happens, forgotten names may suddenly reappear along the team depth chart. Here are three players who could be in careers this season.
Trysten hill
We’ll start with the easiest. For the first time since being drafted, the news for Trysten Hill has been positive. Last year’s second-round pick, Hill did little to make fans feel good about his selection. He was late for meetings and fell asleep because apparently listening to Hall of Fame leader Isiah Thomas was not interesting enough for him. But above all, his playing on the field was simply non-existent.
But things are quite different for Hill in grade two. New defensive line coach Jim Tomsula praised him for his willingness to learn and his relentlessness in asking questions. The dedication is also evident in the practice field. Hill has been active in the trenches, more consistent in showing his strength, and unlike past practices, his name is surfacing here and there as the guy who plays.
I can’t promise you that this will translate into the season because we’ve all been burned by it before.
But I can say that Trysten Hill is constantly being pushed and causing disruption during rehearsals. It looks like he may be a viable part of this rotation. But, we’ll see. https://t.co/ed76Ou0yMd

This is great news for Cowboys fans because Hill’s raw ability is there. If he can be trained, he has a real chance of making a difference in defense.
BEFORE: Possible cut from the list
AFTER: The roster looks secure and he has a good chance of making the DT rotation (although Gerald McCoy’s injury eases his chances there)
Dalton schultz
When you’re a fourth-round pick, no one is too worried if you don’t succeed. Players like Ryan Switzer, Charles Tapper, BW Webb, and Matt Johnson are just thoughts, because they can’t all be like Dak Prescott. And it was getting to the point where third-year Dalton Schultz was also drifting into purgatory. For two years, he has been the third wheel of the tight ends. First he was behind Geoff Swaim and Blake Jarwin a few years ago, then behind Jason Witten and Jarwin last year. And going into this season it looked like once again he would be no. 3 on the depth chart behind Jarwin and recently acquired free agent Blake Bell.
Not so fast. Schultz has shown a lot of progress this year. It couldn’t have come at a better time because while there is excitement surrounding Jarwin’s ability in the passing game, the team still need a reliable tackle. Schultz could be the perfect man for the job.
Cowboys TE Dalton Schultz recorded 117 offensive shots last season. He could triple that figure in 2020. He seems to have found his balance during the last week of camp. I would expect him to beat Blake Bell on offense behind starter Blake Jarwin.

Noah brown
Fans mostly remember the team’s three defensive backs when it comes to the 2017 draft, as Chidobe Awuzie, Jourdan Lewis and Xavier Woods all played key roles in the secondary. But there’s another guy from that draft class still hanging out on the roster, seventh-round pick Noah Brown. and he makes his usual appearance at training camp. As a rule, around this time he will do some very ordinary things that will keep him in the bubble. In other words, if he somehow manages to stay healthy.
So far he hasn’t been injured this year, and what’s even better is that he showed up and played. New head coach Mike McCarthy praises his progress as Brown worked his way through injuries. And with the allure of special teams, everything points to a place on the list for Brown.
BEFORE: On the sidelines of the last WR spot
AFTER: Win that last place WR
