Marist Liufau already being called a potential 'draft-day steal'

Clark got talked up a lot after the draft . He’s been average . Let’s see how these LB’s play in Cleveland . Overshown as well . Got some new blood to go with Kendrick’s . Let Micah concentrate on his Fred Dean traits .

The news of the day for the Dallas Cowboys
By David Halprin Jun 3, 2024

Marist Liufau is getting some love as a draft-day steal.

The Dallas Cowboys see another defensive chess piece in third-round linebacker Marist Liufau.

“Number one, he’s brilliant,” defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer told reporters. “He catches on really quick. He wants to be so good and so intense that he’s almost too much at it right now. The other thing is I think he’s a really good pressure player and I think having that with (Micah) Parsons and another pressure player that is a linebacker or he can move somewhere else and Parsons can move somewhere else. I think those pieces add to confusion for the offense, plus he’s a really good rusher. “

Liufau isn’t just a box player, though. He didn’t allow a single touchdown when in coverage over the last two seasons, according to Pro Football Focus.

How can someone be a “steal” when they haven’t even made a play in pads in training camp yet?!

Guess I qualify as an old fart now— but damn I miss the days when players actually had to produce on the field before they got hyped

I’m routing for him, Kneeland, and the DT from the 7th round

Seriously.

Sorry if I don't crap my pants in ecstasy over Liufau just quite yet. What's next that he is a sure fire inductee into the Hall of Fame based on taking good notes in meetings.
