Dallas Cowboys: Third-round CB Jourdan Lewis has been a pleasant surprise

Not only is Lewis playing well, he is defying expectations. Because of his size, it was generally believed that he would be a slot corner only and that he would have trouble tackling NFL backs and receivers. So far in his career, neither has been true. Lewis is playing on the outside and Scandrick is manning the slot in most three corner formations for the Cowboys. Matching up against the big boys on the outside hasn’t been an issue. And even more surprising is his tackling ability. As PFF notes, he hasn’t missed a tackle yet.

Even a "just" s slot guy, he's an outstanding pick. Although it looks like Woods might end up our slot cb.

Many on here said he was a steal. One of the top steals of the draft. Good call.

He’s a smooth athlete and tackling like he does takes me back to the good ol days.

I still have high expectations for Switzer, yes he pooped on the floor last game. He needs to sync up with Dak like the rest of the receiving corp. Taco is what one would expect when drafting at the tail end of the first round for impact DE's. Awuzie needs to get out of the tub and figure out a way to stay on the field. Once Hitchens/Lee back without any lingering effects from their injuries the rooks will have a chance to showcase their talents.. Jaylon is a progress stopper at this point in his recovery and I wish him the best.

I have high hopes (not Gregory "high") for Awuzie...looks like he may play this week, unless I missed something and then give him the bye to get back into the scheme...but, for now, Lewis is certainly the most pleasant surprise to me
