Starting off their Day 3 haul, the Cowboys made their third defensive addition, selecting San Jose State defensive end Villiami Fehoko with the No. 129 pick. Dan Quinn is a case of the rich getting richer as the draft goes along.
Villiami Fehoko won the 2022 Mountain West Defensive Player of the Year award and finished his college career with 191 tackles, 46 for loss and 23 sacks. The second cousin of the Buccaneers star Vita Vea, Dallas is hoping he can have a similar impact at the pro level. Dallas has been in on Fehoko, as he was one of their 30 national visits; the third type prospect they’ve taken in four selections (Mazi Smith, DeMarvion Overshown).
Fehoko joins a crew of young edge rushers behind the starting pair of Demarcus Lawrence and Micah Parsons. Fehoko will compete with Dante Fowler Jr., Sam Williams and Dorance Armstrong for snaps when training camp rolls around.
Viliami Fehoko was drafted with pick 129 of round 4 in the 2023 draft class. He scored a 5.34 #RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 763 out of 1634 DE from 1987 to 2023. https://t.co/kqpVAXZnNK pic.twitter.com/558LNCyarr
