BYU’s James Empey trying to latch on with Cowboys after injury derailment

The Cowboys double-dipped in UDFA for centers. Will Empey prove to be more of a camp body or contender to the throne? Tyler Browning (@DiabeticTyler) dives into the film of BYU product.

The Dallas Cowboys continued their work on finding a long-term replacement at center as they added two in undrafted free agency. We already looked at Alec Lindstrom out of Boston Collège and they also added James Empey out of BYU. There isn’t much background on Empey available, but he was a three-year starter in high school and a team captain. He played both ways in high school and he played both tackle and guard.

He offers plenty of playing experience as he started every game his freshman and sophomore year at BYU, before battling an ankle injury that would plague him in his final two years. So does he have what it takes to make it on the Cowboys roster? Let’s dive into the tape and find out.
