Cowboys fans have long been clamoring for a big one tech, almost as long or if not longer than they have wanted a free safety who can roam the field. The primary option for the entire draft is Georgia’s Jordan Davis, one of the 30 visitors, but what if he isn’t available?
Uconn’s big body answer is defensive tackle Travis Jones. The junior lineman from New Haven is seen as the next-best option on many a draft board, and there’s plenty of reasons why. His time as a Huskie wasn’t filled with much winning, the university going 4-33 during his three years. That time came with two coaches, as Randy Edsall retired in the middle of 2021. Jones’ play remained stellar, though with 133 tackles, and his after-college circuit included an impressive week at the Senior Bowl and quality testing numbers.
