Small-school rookie listed as Cowboys’ surprise standout

From @BenGrimaldi: Rookie cornerback Eric Scott Jr. was named as the surprise standout for the Dallas Cowboys this offseason. Here’s why he made the list.

The Dallas Cowboys have one of the top defenses in the NFL. They have youth and depth at nearly every position. Add in defensive coordinator Dan Quinn being one of the best assistant coaches in the league, and it’s easy to see why the Cowboys have a bright outlook for the 2023 season.

Quinn gets the most out of his best guys, but it’s also a testament to the kind of players the Cowboys acquire when they routinely have surprise performers among their lesser-known players. ESPN took a look at each teams ‘surprise standout’ for the offseason and rookie CB Eric Scott Jr. took the honors for the Cowboys.
