2 Minute Drill: Crawford on Chargers Game; Playing Alongside DEs & More

SAN DIEGO – The Cowboys spent four of their first five draft picks on defensive players, including two with first-round grades. They also signed a high-profile pass-rusher in Greg Hardy.
But make no mistake – one of the key leaders of this defense is certainly not a new piece to the equation.
Defensive tackle Tyrone Crawford enters his fourth pro season, but just third in uniform after missing all of 2013 with an Achilles injury. He more than made up for lost time in 2014, when Crawford was one of the more consistent defensive performers.
To think he entered last year with uncertainly surrounding his position as he moved back and forth from end to tackle. But he’s settled into the 3-technique position now at tackle, and could be ready for a breakout year.
In fact, Crawford is considered the next in line for the Cowboys to sign to a long-term contract. But when asked about that in the first two weeks of camp, Crawford shrugs it off, stating “I’m focused on playing. All of that will take care of itself.”
