SAN DIEGO – The Cowboys spent four of their first five draft picks on defensive players, including two with first-round grades. They also signed a high-profile pass-rusher in Greg Hardy.
But make no mistake – one of the key leaders of this defense is certainly not a new piece to the equation.
Defensive tackle Tyrone Crawford enters his fourth pro season, but just third in uniform after missing all of 2013 with an Achilles injury. He more than made up for lost time in 2014, when Crawford was one of the more consistent defensive performers.
