FRISCO, Texas — The decision to spend a third-round pick on Marist Liufau in April is proving to be brilliant on the part of the Dallas Cowboys, for a couple of reasons. The first is readily obvious following the loss of budding superstar linebacker DeMarvion Overshown, and the other is rooted in his own respective ceiling — one that appears to be exceedingly high as well.
The young duo have only played in 13 NFL games together, but Liufau speaks so glowingly of Overshown as more than simply a teammate, but also as a mentor of sorts.
"Just watching how he plays," he said of the former Longhorn. "The way he plays the game is the model for how you should play the game, and I really respect it as a young player coming into this league. You see the effort he puts in on the field and that's a testament to who he is. I really try to learn as much as I can from his game...
A large part of his growing success is in his fiery demeanor, not unlike what is seen from players like Jourdan Lewis and, most notably as of late, Brock Hoffman; wherein the usually mild-mannered and smiley-faced Liufau flips a switch once he steps in-between the lines on gameday.
This is the future of the linebackers revealing leadership and invested talent.
One can strongly bet this part of the investment interactions by both Parsons and Kendricks.
This up and coming draft I would pay what it took to get the very best middle linebacker and anchor this box connection between the line and secondary...right up the middle.
