“I’ve had my eye on ‘Zay’ for some time,” Quinn told reporters this weekend at the conclusion of the Cowboys’ rookie minicamp. “I first saw him [while] looking at Bell from a year ago, and he had a fantastic junior year, Zay did. He had over 20 sacks and really lit it up. ‘Who is this guy?'”

Land’s breakout junior year had a lot of football front-office types asking that same question. After posting decent stats as a redshirt freshman and then seeing the Rattlers’ 2020 season wiped out due to COVID-19, Land was a man possessed in 2021. He led the nation in sacks as well as tackles for loss and was named the Buck Buchanan Award winner as the FCS national defensive player of the year.
