The Dallas Cowboys are going to need some help at the linebacker position in 2022. If previous trends are any indication, the club will look to April’s draft to find the perfect compliment for 2021 rookie of the year Micah Parsons. While the club remains hopeful for a full recovery, a midseason ACL tear sidelined Parsons’ draft-classmate Jabril Cox.
With Leighton Vander Esch and Keanu Neal hitting free agency, it’s likely the club goes back to the well for another collegiate standout. They may not have to stray far from The Star, as Baylor’s Terrel Bernard is an intriguing prospect in this year’s class. The La Porte High School star stayed in state for his college ball and shined brightly for the Bears. His intelligence (2018 All-Academic Team as a freshman and sophomore) comes through in his play identification and his physical traits are just as tantalizing.
