There’s a written test for all finalists.
Finalists entering Round 3 take a 100-question written test which is factored into the overall evaluation. The test includes current events, pop culture, general football knowledge, and Cowboys’ team history.
Examples of previous questions include: Who is the current U.S. Secretary of State? Who is the owner and general manager of the Dallas Cowboys? How many yards are assessed for a personal foul penalty?
There’s a panel interview for all finalists.
DCC represent the Cowboys’ brand to fans, sponsors, corporate executives, military members and political leaders around the world. They must be articulate and knowledgeable.
