This time last year, offensive tackle Terence Steele was fighting for a spot anywhere on the roster. After all, undrafted free agents are guaranteed nothing in the NFL, especially on the Dallas Cowboys who have the likes of Tyron Smith and La’el Collins anchoring the top of the depth chart. But with both of them out for the year come October, Steele was forced into action.
The Texas native seemed to have earned at least one thing throughout his tumultuous rookie season: the trust of offensive line coach Joe Philbin, the man who stuck with him through thick and thin. Entering his sophomore season, he’ll need to earn more than that.
