News: Did the Dallas Cowboys find an undrafted defensive gem?

[Stash]

Plus you have to figure with the kid going to Northwestern that he's no dummy.

I also watched a video of him with his young family and he seemed like a young man with his priorities in the right places. Mature, hard-working, and willing to do what it takes for he and his family.

Getting a Will McClay tattoo over the weekend.

I got mine after we traded up and stole Swaim from the rest of the NFL.

Sounds about right, you need to cover up this one for the upcoming season...

Good Draft in April got better in May.

You ever been belly to belly suplexed into a Cowboys bean bag?

Keep talking.

Hasn't everyone.

Hey maybe I just like LBers, especially ones with all the skilz to be effective on the next level.

Don't go flexing about 6ft being too short for an NFL LBer. I'll have to put you in the Iron Claw and force feed you a Jerry Jones Bobble Head.

There's scarcely a year that goes by where somebody totally unexpected shows up to become a delightful surprise. There doesn't appear to be too much question that this LB, Joe Jones, has some good attributes and measurables for the Cowboys to consider.

It does sound like all that remains to be seen is to put him to the test in TC and beyond for the staff to decide if he's someone worthy of making the team or not. Here's hoping he's altogether as promising as Gil Brandt seems to believe he could be. Nice to hear.

This reminds me of when Garretts dad was gushing over Todd Lowbar i believe..

2008 WR Todd Lowber and 2012 WR Saalim Akim:

The 2008 “Hard Knocks” chronicled the story of WR Todd Lowber’s attempt to become an NFL wide receiver. His athletic ability really stood out but he had almost no experience at playing football. Jim Garrett, former Cowboys scout and father of current head coach Jason Garrett, was big on the upside potential of the athletic Lowber in the “Hard Knocks” series.

Lowber was a high jump champ with great speed but his lack of football experience caused him to be cut by the Cowboys in the final cuts that year.

Lowber ended up in the Canadian Football League with the Toronto Argonauts where in 2009 he suffered a serious concussion while returning a kick. Later in 2009, he was released by the Argonauts. Currently he is a free agent.

There was more to it in the show or some articles about how Jim thought the Cowboys got a great WR, turned out to be nothing.

Lewis Neal is gonna shake things up

He is listed at 6'0 298 on the website, could be making a switch to the inside. Could get interesting for sure

Everyone cares about size until they have a Mathieu on their roster

 

[xwalker]

Does sound like an interesting prospect. If he would of been invited to the combine and posted his people day numbers, he would of been drafted

I reviewed a couple of Northwestern games from last season and he did not appear to be starting. He was #42 if anybody else wants to watch him.

Lucas Wacha is just as good an athlete, but longer. And while he was an even smaller school guy, he was even more productive than Joe Jones. Nzeocha, Wacha, Jones are all in the mold of the SS/LB hybrid that is currently all the rage.

Darren Woodson would have made a ton of money in this era.

When I saw this guys 40 times, I was thinking safety depth.....

He was 261 at his Pro Day.

Sometimes lack of size is not a problem with ability but can be a problem with injuries.

Bob Sanders for example.

Mathieu blew out his left ACL and LCL in 2013 and blew out his right ACL in 2015. It could be just back luck or it could be that he a small guy that plays like a big guy.

I keep hearing this guy's name being brought up more and more. I'm curious to find out more about him. I think that the 6th linebacker spot on this roster could be up for grabs. The team could look to move on from Kyle Wilber.

I was thinking the exact same thing, stash. If this kid's speed can translate to recognition and in game instinct, Wilber may need to start looking over his shoulder.
