Former Super Bowl champion compares Patrick Surtain II to Richard Sherman and Stephon Gilmore

The Dallas Cowboys have a chance to upgrade its defense next week.

Patrick Surtain II is a top-10 pick, and he would fit what Dan Quinn wants to do in the secondary. Trevon Diggs, Surtain’s former teammate at the University of Alabama, has been lobbying for the Cowboys to draft his guy. Willie McGinest, a former three-time Super Bowl champion with the New England Patriots, also sees greatness in Surtain. As an analyst for NFL Network, McGinest broke down Surtain’s tape on NFL Total Access. He praised the demeanor, football intelligence, and versatility of the former All-American cornerback.
