Strong athleticism markers alone won't help rookie UDFAs make the Cowboys roster, but it certainly won't hurt.
Last week, using a metric called SPARQ, we took a look at the Cowboys' 2016 draft class, and found that the Cowboys assembled one of the most athletic rookie classes of the 2016 NFL draft.
Today, we turn our attention to the undrafted rookies and tryout players the Cowboys have assembled at rookie minicamp this weekend as we wonder which of them stand a chance to make the team.
My hypothesis going in is that prospects with superior athleticism stand a better chance of making the roster; this is not rocket science.
