Sounds like he's mainly a special teams prospect.

Might be, but Dallas put a lot of money (comparatively) toward signing him. Just seems to me that he has the traits to play strong safety based on what I've read. His height is a detriment at linebacker, although some have overcome that limitation.

Most striking to me is that Dowdle chose to sign here. The only way I can make sense of that is that the Cowboys sold him on the idea that Zeke would play very little in preseason, and Pollard not much either, so Dowdle would end up getting the bulk of the playing time... ie, more opportunity to showcase himself.

zeke is one drunk night away from getting suspended for an entire season. So if that happens you will be in line for 50% of the carries in the best offense in football.

Could Taumeoepeau play fullback or is he more of just a receiving tight end? He has good size for the fullback spot and not so good size for a tight end.

I was thinking of Taumeoepeau as a FB too. Not as much speed as Olawale, but probably much more of a blocker.

Was a RB in HS and freshman year, so it's certainly plausible.

Perhaps.

Chunn is still on the roster, isn't he?

But the point is well-taken... think that was the selling point to get the kid to sign?... "Hey, kid, look, Zeke is one drunk night away from getting suspended, so seriously consider those odds!"
