Tight ends did their thing at the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis on Thursday, and the Cowboys may have been paying extra attention. It was revealed that Blake Jarwin is staring down a six- to eight-month rehab time from an “uncommon” hip surgery, meaning he likely won’t be ready for the start of the season. With Dalton Schultz scheduled to hit free agency, the plans in Dallas may have just shifted. We look at the options for the front office, plus we sneak a peek at one of the prospects who may have just inched a little further up the Cowboys’ big board with the news.
But it was an Ohio State wide receiver who stole the show in the 40-yard dash; his is a name Cowboys fans may want to have circled, too. Hand size was the topic du jour for the QB watchers; we’ll look at how Dak Prescott measures up (and why it may not really matter). We’ve also got the best all-time performances in the big combine drills and a dive into how luck of the draw played a factor in all those Cowboys penalties last year. All that, plus a long-awaited development on the league’s COVID front, Micah Parsons and Drew Pearson team up to welcome a show that’s even bigger then they are, and the most hated individuals in the league are called out. Here’s the News and Notes.
