Combine official stats:
  • 6'1" 231 lbs
  • 4.76 40
No thanks....special teams, maybe, but we need to have two interchangeable safeties who can both cover a TE, in my opinion.

Not claiming to be that guy, knower of all football,, haha,,,
Just basically kicking over stones bro.

No problem buddy
The point is that this is where the idiocy of our FO has landed us. And there are still fans on this board who will continue to defend them even though the poor decision making is obvious

If he can even find a role on ST, then I'm a happy fan.
He has the athletic grade and skills, but we have all seen others with the same abilities fail in translation to starting roles.
All I'm doing is kicking the tires with players under current contract on this team, I'm hoping as well that he finds a role.

If he makes team, just like he's played special teams before that's what he will be, any thing more than that is a win win for both the team and himself. Talk bout a RKG. Even if he wouldn't have changed to safety I feel like he'd be considered to battle for the No. 2 job they seem to really like him.

The Cowboys have obviously seen something in Showers that they like. I'd like to see him succeed on D, even if it's just solid depth. We'll see what happens after the draft.....


they have also seen a lot in other players that they liked. but we ll let that go much like this idea.

I've never understood coaches having players change the side of the ball they are playing in the pros. I think that slows your progress even more.

I'm surprised they didn't move him to WR, I'm a fan of college QB's moved because they understand coverages quicker, IMO.

One of the greatest safeties to wear the star was Charlie Waters who was a QB at Clemson. He was was converted to CB and failed miserably. They moved him to safety and he flourished. The key to his success besides his athletic ability: he was very smart.

How smart is Showers?

He was a good CB until injuries robbed him of his speed. That's why he was moved to safety for the most part.

He'll get a chance. If he can show something he could stick as a backup but primarily a STs core player. Did he play gunner?

CowboysZone ULTIMATE Fan
Quick Look

6'2"
230 lbs.

Currently listed as a SS on Cowboys official site.

From Draft scout his 40 times range
Low: 4.56 - high: 4.77
average time: 4.66

vertical: 38
Broad: 10.01
20yd: 4.50
3 cone: 7.48

Conversion projects are never easy in the NFL, but considering the wide open job market for a starting safety currently, I would say Showers is worth paying attention to.
The high and low on the forty are predraft estimates, not actual times.

He ran a 4.66 forty.

Just bring his name up is all, I had dismissed him as well, but there could be a chance of showers in the forecast..lol


BOOOOO!!! :laugh:

As far as Showers goes, I think every team has guys like this. I expect he'll spend his entire career on practice squads.

This is what our management does.

Waste precious time on projects that even Ray Charles can see will never amount to anything.

Whenever the team makes a decision that looks like a substance abusing alcoholic made it, you know it was none other than Jerry Jones.

That is the point of late round picks and udfas. Conversions rarely work but recent history shows that success rates are going up.
