The safety position for the Dallas Cowboys has been a controversial topic for years now. That’s mainly due to a severe lack of investment at the position with a pair of former sixth-rounders in Xavier Woods and Donovan Wilson starting at the position just last season.

But with the recent hiring of Dan Quinn as the team’s new defensive coordinator, that was a trend that appeared to have changed. The former head coach of the Atlanta Falcons brought with him to Dallas a couple familiar faces this offseason in free-agent safeties Keanu Neal and Damontae Kazee.
