Practice for the 2021 Senior Bowl has concluded and the highly-anticipated game is set for Saturday afternoon. The biggest of the post-season collegiate all-star games has taken on much more importance as the coronovirus pandemic has cancelled much of the normal offseason interaction opportunities between teams and prospects for the NFL draft.
Saturday’s game will likely feature dozens of future NFL contributors, as roughly 30 percent of the league are Senior Bowl alumni. Current stars like Aaron Donald, Von Miller, Bobby Wagner, Russell Wilson and many more played in this collegiate all-star game after their senior season of college, and this year’s rosters are loaded with potential All-Pro talent as well. The Cowboys found their quarterback, Dak Prescott, while their staff was coaching against him in the 2016 Senior Bowl.
The Dallas Cowboys are approaching one of their most pivotal drafts in recent memory, as they’ll be attempting to improve their defense at nearly every level while building managed the cap around the expectantly extended Dak Prescott.
While there are many position groups the Cowboys need, there are a few that the organization has to feel somewhat comfortable with, including the offensive skill positions like wide receiver, tight end, running back, and quarterback, assuming Prescott remains.
With all that in mind, let’s take a look at some of this year’s top Senior Bowl prospects at the some most pressing positions of need for the Dallas Cowboys.
