ESPN: Cowboys Rookie Class Shows Promise

[CalPolyTechnique]

We didn't get to see Covington on the field, but I read nothing but rave reviews about his athleticism, and I've never thought the same about Wilson. Hopefully, a year of NFL coaching has brought Covington's mental acumen up to his physical skills and he will be ready to compete or start at SLB in 2019.

On paper he’s a similar athlete to Wilson, which is to say he’s not exceptional. That said, he has some upside as a player because he switched positions while in college from QB to LB.
